Tasting Notes

Vinous Ian d'Agata - 01 Oct 18
Bright red. Intense, highly perfumed aromas of red cherry, licorice, crushed stone, sage and violet. Juicy, fresh and linear on the palate, with its red fruit and herb flavors accented by a gingery spicy note. Finishes distinctly saline and very long, with nuances of tar and quinine. This lovely wine boasts plenty of early appeal, but its depth and layered texture suggest that it will age very well. Curiously enough, and in contrast to most other Montalcino estates, Le Potazzine chose not to bottle a 2010 Brunello Riserva.

Tuscany

Tuscany, a renowned wine region in central Italy, is famous for its high-quality Sangiovese-based wines. Key styles include Chianti, with vibrant acidity and red fruit flavours; Chianti Classico, known for greater depth; and Brunello di Montalcino, prized for its rich, full-bodied character and ageing potential. Tuscany also produces prestigious Super Tuscan wines that blend Sangiovese with international varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon. Top producers are Antinori, for Tignanello; Castello di Ama, for Chianti Classico; and Biondi-Santi, for Brunello.
