Val di Suga's Brunello is produced with grapes grown in three different sectors of the appellation (northeast, southeast and southwest), each with specific climatic features. The different geographical locations of the vineyards make for Sangiovese grapes that complement each other, as well as managing to sketch a traditional profile.
This wine has the uncommon ability to combine expressivity, grip, generous fruit and rigor, without losing elegance. The nose is complex, with notes of crisp ripe red fruit, orange, bitter orange and slightly balsamic overtones. The well-structured palate features excellent tannic and acid definition, with a lingering, uplifting finish.
The grapes are destemmed and fermented in stainless steel. The wine then matures for 24 months in large Slavonian oak barrels and 6 months in bottle before release.
Val di Suga is a historic producer in Montalcino that dates back to the 1960’s. The estate is a pioneer in the production of terrior-driven Brunello, and the only producer making three single-vineyards in three different estates: Vigna del Lago in the North-East, Vigna Spuntali in the South-West and Poggio al Granchio in the South East. This Brunello combines the characteristics of all three slopes of the appellation: elegant in the northeast, warm and Mediterranean in the southwest, rocky and introspective in the southeast area. A wine of great character and pleasantness, a unique expression of Sangiovese from Montalcino.
