Nose: cherry, licorice, leather, blackberry, mushroom, gravel → all layered aromas with depth and richness
Palate: luscious, luxurious, decadent → young for Brunello but still absolutely drinkable today

ASHWIN'S REFLECTION:
Le Potazzine is a women-run estate in Montalcino where the mother-daughters team focus on minimal intervention wines of distinction. Gigliola’s two daughters Viola and Sofia were dubbed by their of the lively chirping birds you hear in the vineyards + surrounding countryside. Gigliola, Viola, and Sofia’s wines radiate class and are a sheer pleasure to pour and drink.
