What to Pair

A rich, structured Brunello that loves savory, umami-forward dishes with some fat or acidity to stand up to it:

  • Pici all'aglione
  • Steak au poivre
  • Roast halibut with caramelized leeks

About the Producer

Le Potazzine is a women-run estate in Montalcino, founded in 1993 by Gigliola Giannetti on a high-altitude plateau at over 500 meters above sea level. At that altitude, few believed Sangiovese would ripen properly. Today, those same vineyards are recognized as some of the best in the denomination.

 

We work with Gigliola and her daughters Viola and Sofia because their approach is exactly what we look for: indigenous yeast fermentations, no temperature control, long macerations of 30 to 45 days, and aging in traditional Slavonian oak. Nothing added, nothing forced. 

 

Today, Violais the winemaker, and Sofia manages exports. Together, they've kept the estate's obsessive focus on balance, elegance, and purity.

Why I Chose this Wine

When I met Sofia first word she used to describe her wine was "elegant."

 

Having tasted it, I couldn't agree more. 

 

The family named this estate after the nickname Gigliola's mother gave her daughters "the little chirping birds" and there's something about that warmth that comes through in the bottle. 

 

This is a wine with real soul behind it, and the elegance Sofia described is exactly what you'll find in the glass.
