Tasting Notes

Le Potazzine delivers solid results thanks to the impressive positioning of its vines that straddle the crown of a high-elevation plain. The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino shows bright fruit with cherry and redcurrant, and that makes all the difference. Careful oak aging has enhanced the aromas. I also feel the effects of careful cellar aging in terms of mouthfeel, especially the structure and tannins. The wine is tightly stitched together with a point of sourness on the close. Give it a few more years to soften. Some 15,500 bottles were made. 2025-2038

Lustrous mid ruby. Balsamic nose that is still a little closed. Supple, sweet and concentrated fruit through which the tangy acidity peeks on the finish. Quite a bit of stubborn tannins – this clearly needs more bottle age, for which it has plenty of substance. 2024-2034
