Overview

Val di Suga, the property in Montalcino is composed of 100 hectares, 55 of which are vineyards. One of the keys to making great Brunello, as it is in any wine region, is the vineyards, but more specifically, having vineyards in each of the major growing areas of the township of Brunello. These different vineyards, with varied expositions, placed on differing soils, bring an added level of complexity to the wine which has already yielded great results.

Reviews

Wine Spectator - May 2008 - James Suckling - 91 points

Offers pretty blackberry and raspberry aromas. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a fresh, floral, berry aftertaste. Best after 2009. 10,850 cases made.
