The 2008 vintage in Montalcino produced wines of considerable structure and depth from producers who harvested with patience and care, and Poggio di Sotto's 2008 is among the most compelling examples from this undersung year. Now approaching 18 years from harvest, the wine has evolved into the kind of bottle that rewards those who have the patience to seek it out: an exciting mingling of dark cherries, plums, tobacco, licorice, mocha, and herbs, with the element of wildness and earthy character that defines this estate's personality alongside the cellar's meticulous traditional approach. James Suckling awarded 93, Wine Enthusiast 91, Wine Advocate 90, and Vinous 90. Fully mature and in a beautiful drinking window right now, this is a chance to experience what properly aged, traditionally made Brunello from one of Montalcino's most admired estates actually tastes like. The price is incredibly well-positioned for this opportunity. Grab it now.

About The Producer

Poggio di Sotto is the estate that quietly changed the conversation about what Brunello di Montalcino could be. Located in the southern Castelnuovo dell'Abate subzone, the domaine was founded in 1990 by Piero Palmucci and built a fierce reputation for wines of extraordinary purity and longevity before being acquired by Claudio Tipa's ColleMassari group in 2011. Tipa continued the farming philosophy his predecessor established, maintaining the commitment to old vines, long macerations, and extended aging in large Slavonian oak casks without compromising on quality or yield. The estate farms roughly twelve hectares on clay and galestro soils at altitude, producing one of the most consistently celebrated Brunello di Montalcino in the appellation. The wines regularly earn scores in the upper nineties and attract intense collector interest, with older vintages commanding significant premiums at auction. The Rosso di Montalcino gives access to the same estate philosophy at an earlier drinking window and a fraction of the price. Wine Advocate has awarded multiple vintages perfect or near-perfect scores, and Poggio di Sotto is now considered one of the benchmarks against which other Brunello producers are measured.
