"100% Sangiovese Grosso. From three vineyards – Vigna al Lago, Vigna Spuntali and Vigna al Granchio – located on different hillside slopes in Montalcino. Each has different soil types, sun exposure and climatic conditions and varying elevations of 270–450 m. Vines aged between 10 and 20 years. Hand-harvested, destemmed and crushed. Each of the three plots fermented separately and blended only at the end of the ageing process. Fermentation at controlled temperatures of 25–27 °C for 12 days. Maceration then took place on the skins for 20–25 days at a temperature of 25 °C. Aged for 24 months in 50-hl Slavonian oak casks, and 12 months in concrete tanks before at least 12 months in bottle.
Val di Suga’s Brunello reflects the best of the 2021 vintage, with a smooth, refined palate showing density and purity of dark-berry and redcurrant fruit. Elegant tannins with oak coming through on the finish. Lots to enjoy and a fair price for the quality on display." Jancis Robinson 17 points.
Food Pairing:Rich creamy risottos with liver, lamb or sausage ragout.
Since its first harvest 1975, Val di Suga has expanded to 55 hectares of vineyards in all the major growing areas of Montalcino. Consisting of three distinctive vineyards on three different slopes – Vina del Lago (clay), Granchio (galestro) and Vigna Spuntali (sandy) – winemaker Andrea Lonardi is able to cherry-pick the very best fruit available from the unique characteristics of each terrior in crafting a wonderfully balanced and great-value Brunello.
