About this wine

Le Potazzine is one of the reference points for elegant, classically styled Brunello. From breezy, stony vineyards at altitude, the 2018 delivers lifted red cherry, wild strawberry, orange zest, dried herbs and faint leather notes. It’s medium-bodied, graceful and sapid, with a sweet core of fruit wrapped in fine, chalk-textured tannins and a long, salty-mineral finish. A beautiful, drinkable yet ageworthy expression of pure Sangiovese.

Tasting Note

Vinous and Jancis Robinson highlight forest herbs, leather and wild strawberry on the nose; a medium-bodied but concentrated palate with sweet, vivid red fruit; and lingering, chalky tannins that keep the wine poised and long.

In the glass

Lustrous mid-ruby, quite bright and transparent.

In the nose

Red cherry and wild strawberry, orange peel, dried flowers, herbs, hints of leather and smoke.

On the palate

Medium-bodied, fresh and vertical, with juicy red fruit, fine chalky tannins and a long, savory, mouth-watering finish.

Le Potazzine

A benchmark for finesse-driven Brunello. Le Potazzine farms organically and vinifies traditionally, producing wines with purity, red-fruited brightness, and graceful tannins. The style is lifted, refined, and quietly confident. A top choice for drinkers who value elegance over weight.
