Hardly any Brunello is as authentic as the wines from Le Potazzine - they reveal the whole truth of the Sangiovese grape. The result is neither completely polished, nor is it boring or predictable. The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino achieves a degree of extreme authenticity and originality that you don't find on every corner in the appellation. It is a wine full of understatement and equally great personality, for which one must take time and leisure to discover every last nuance. On the nose, it reveals a subtle and well-composed bouquet of red roses, spices, earth and wild mushrooms. As always with Le Potazzine, there is also a wild hint of rusticity. On the palate, this Brunello reveals its powerful fruit and perfectly integrated tannins. Like a friend you can rely on, this Brunello is both a role model and a lovable buddy. SUPERIORE.DE

"A powerful and racy red wine with the character of dark berries, cherries and orange peel. Medium body, solid tannins and a lively finish." James Suckling

"This wine is elegant and dense and reveals flavours of strawberries, cherries, roses, minerals and spices. Its powerful tannins impose themselves and dominate the finish. The fruit comes back, so be patient." Wine Spectator

"The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is a very elegant expression with tart berry flavours accompanied by pulverised stone, light spice and a hint of pressed violet. This is a pretty Sangiovese style produced by Gigliola Giannetti and her lovely daughters in an area of the appellation that always offers freshness, bright fruit flavours and low alcohol." Wine Advocate

"I was enchanted by the heady flowers, the lush fruit, the silky texture and the vibrancy. The Brunello may not be as explosive, but it goes one better with graceful intensity and insidious density. Winter mint, rose and red raspberry slowly build up in the glass. Fine, powdery tannins give precise contour to the supple yet crisp fruit, and pink grapefruit refreshes. Seamless and effortlessly complex." Decanter

"The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is cool and graceful in character, with layers of white smoke, sweet sage, cinnamon sticks, stone dust and dried black cherries forming its seductive bouquet. On the palate it is a real pleasure, soft, round, almost creamy yet fresh, with an abundance of ripe wild berries, underlined by salty minerals and a sweet herbal note towards the end. Despite its vintage character, this wine has classically grippy tannins and admirable concentration, finishing dramatically long and haunting dark. As is so often the case, Le Potazzine does a fantastic job in warm vintages." Vinous

"Great classic of the name, raw material with the usual crispness, nose reminiscent of late blackberry, clementine peel and rhubarb. Refined and flavoursome tannins on the palate, memories of citrus fruits, hints of small fruit notes..." Luca Gardini
