Le Potazzine Rosso di Montalcino

Le Potazzine Rosso di Montalcino is a 100% Sangiovese grown on the high-altitude hills around Montalcino (the estate’s vineyards include “Le Prata” at ~500 m and “La Torre” slightly lower down). It’s vinified with native yeasts, undergoes a long maceration (up to 30–40 days) and then ages for about 10–12 months in large Slavonian oak casks, a restrained approach delivering freshness and clarity.

In the glass the wine shows a bright ruby-red colour, with aromas of sour cherry, raspberry and red fruit, accompanied by floral hints (violet, rose) and a touch of Mediterranean herbs and subtle spice. The palate is medium-bodied, silky and fresh, red-fruit flavours are lifted by lively acidity, with soft yet persistent tannins and a savoury, mineral-leaning finish.
