List of products by brand Tenuta le Potazzine

A splendid winegrowing reality in Montalcino, Le Potazzine is a top-class winery in the panorama of the best companies in the Ilinese area. A company whose name derives from the term used to indicate the great tit, small birds of the Tuscan countryside, and at the same time the affectionate appellation with which grandparents and parents address their children. In fact, it was the maternal grandmother who called Viola and Sofia, the daughters of Gigliola Giannetti, owner of the company and Ilcinese since birth. Today, thirty years later, the wines of Le Potazzine communicate a rare sense of authenticity, elegant and precise reds that derive from about five hectares of vineyards, and above all arise from cellar practices that require the least possible artificial intervention.

Between the rows, the plants reach an average age of 18 years, and are raised at an altitude ranging from 420 to 568 meters above sea level. Conducted using guyot systems with a density of about 6 thousand plants per hectare, the vineyards are managed by adopting rational and careful agronomic practices, with the utmost respect for the balance of nature, ecosystem and environment, with certified organic grapes. Cleanliness, harmony and finesse are the key words that regulate all the production phases of the cellar. Trying to mix the grapes from different vineyards, Le Potazzine manages to assemble wines where elegance and refinement meet power and structure. The fermentation, which always occurs naturally by indigenous yeasts alone, is combined with long macerations on the skins (even 40 days), with which substance and character are extracted. Subsequently, the aging, carried out as usual in large medium-sized Slavonian oak barrels, gives rise to wines of absolute quality, which conquer for their balance and their impeccable style. From Brunello di Montalcino to Rosso di Montalcino, wines that best tell us about the highest enological essence
