Montalcino (12)
An estate that was born recently but which in a short time has been able to conquer with its red wines Brunello di Montalcino and Rosso di Montalcino.
This company shows no interest in international vines. Only Sangiovese Canalicchio for its Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino wines.
The Losappio family, with the help of the oenologist Gioa Cresti, produces a Brunello di Montalcino from the style of Castelnuovo dell'Abate: rich, alcoholic. A really interesting offer.
Andrea Cortonesi produces wine based on Sangiovese in Castelnuovo dell'Abate, Montalcino. Excellent offers of Brunello di Montalcino and Rapace wine, a blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Le Potazzine is a family farm made up of 5 hectares of vineyards registered under the Brunello denomination.
It is one of the second generation Montalcino companies, those that have contributed since the 80s to making Brunello known in Italy and abroad.

Even though Sangiovese has, by now for centuries, been the great grape of Tuscany,
Montalcino has changed a great deal since the early and mid-1980’s, a period which, in retrospect, and compared to the hustle and bustle of today, seems almost one of bucolic quiet.
