Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2017
Le Potazzine | Tuscany
Tenuta Le Potazzine s.r.l. | Loc. Le Prata, 262 | IT 53024 Montalcino
Le Potazzine is known for its purist interpretation of the Sangiovese grape than elsewhere in the appellation. The 2017 vintage offers a maximum of originality, authenticity and, at the same time, an unprecedented personality. On the nose, red roses, forest floor and mushrooms. On the palate, powerful with a beguiling rusticity - at the same time, it reveals its depth and complexity with every sip (and with good aeration). Enormous drinking flow and enthusiasm all along the line in the long, profound final! SUPERIORE.DE
"Aromas of blackberries, black cherries and mushrooms. The palate is full-bodied, with slightly chewy tannins, but it remains polished and lively. Berries, earth and bark on the finish. Give this wine a few years to open up. Try it after 2023." James Suckling
"An exotic blend of sweet smoke and cloves gives way to dusty black cherries and a hint of sour citrus as the 2017 Brunello di Montalcino unfolds in the glass. After some time, hints of animal musk and floral undergrowth emerge. On the palate, the Brunello di Montalcino reveals pure elegance, delicate and silky, but also with a core of salty minerals that adds unexpected depth to the vibrant flavours of tart wild berries and spices. The 2017 finishes with incredible persistence but also composure, structured yet primary, just as it should be at this young stage. Keep your hands off it for at least a couple of years, because the best is yet to come. The higher altitudes and sober winemaking at Le Potazzine have really helped to produce one of the most balanced and, frankly, interesting wines of the vintage." Vinous
"Le Potazzine is run by Gigliola Giannetti and her daughters Viola and Sofia. Viola took over responsibility for winemaking in 2017 at the age of 24. She continues the winery's long-established approach: spontaneous fermentation in open vats, long macerations, no filtering and low SO2. I always find the wines a little wild at first, before an intense purity sets in. The 2017 shows balsamic notes of sun-dried thyme and herb flowers before floral accents take over. This is a relatively powerful expression for Le Potazzine, but ultimately expresses the elegance typical of the estate. Grainy, sandy tannins envelop the ripe strawberry fruit, leading to a long finish with notes of potpourri and orange." Decanter
"The ladies at Le Potazzine make an excellent bottle of Brunello, and their high altitude vineyards are particularly important in maintaining freshness in a vintage as hot as this. The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino offers a pretty succession of wild berry, cherry and plum aromas, along with light spice, crushed flowers and fragrant potting soil. This wine also features hints of bay leaf and perhaps a warmer note of smoked tobacco. This is an impressive achievement." Wine Advocate
"Aromas of crushed mint, pressed rose and fragrant berries combine with warm spices in this stunning red wine. Thanks to some of the highest vineyard altitudes in the denomination, it features vibrancy and finesse in its flavours of ripe black cherry, juicy blood orange, liquorice and crushed mint. Taut, elegant tannins and fresh acidity keep it balanced and concentrated." Wine Enthusiast
"One of the most amazing Brunello, from Gigliola Giannelli's sustainability project. Red currants, notes of liquorice and capers, red orange peel, finish with iodine spicy tannins and very long finish." Luca Gardini
