Francesca Moretti grew up with Bellavista – her father Vittorio's Franciacorta winery, one of Italy's reference addresses for sparkling wine. What she wanted to develop in Suvereto was the opposite: great red wines in the style of Bordeaux, from a terroir that hardly anyone knew. The Potenti is her most personal commitment to this conviction – named after the vineyard in Riotorto from which the grapes come. The soils are clayey, sandy and calcareous, interspersed with coarse skeleton – a foundation that forces the Cabernet Sauvignon to root deeply and bear concentrated fruit. The vineyard lies between the foothills of the Colline Metallifere and the Tyrrhenian coast, in a climate that combines sea breezes with long, sunny autumns. After the harvest in October, the wine ferments in large oak conical barrels and matures for 18 months in French barriques – according to the best Bordelese tradition.

Dark ruby red with garnet nuances. Blackcurrant, blueberry, wild blackberry, marasca on the nose – followed by spices, dark chocolate, cocoa and balsamic scrub. Rich and structured on the palate, with dense, well-integrated tannins, fresh acidity and a long, spicy final. A Tuscan Cabernet that does not copy Bordeaux – but responds. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich and layered, showing plums, cassis, graphite and Mediterranean herbs with deep, leafy eucalyptus tones. Medium-bodied, quite smooth and polished, offering ripe tannins and crisp acidity. Good balance overall with a tight finish." James Suckling
