Montalcino, Italy

North facing vines and altitude play an intrinsic role in this outstanding Sangiovese. The wine has seen eight months in large Slavonian oak, retaining expressive aromatics and freshness. It has a vivid rose-tinted colour, and is crunchy and perfumed with plum, pepper and zest. The palate is mineral, supple and cleansing with ripeness balanced by tangy charm and supple spices. This is a serious, perfectly crafted Sangiovese with immense enjoyment. bbr.com Drink 2023 - 2032

“Podere Scopetone has come a long way since Loredana Tanganelli and Antonio Brandi took over the property a few years ago and began the process of untangling the effects of several years of neglect. With the help of consulting winemaker Maurizio Castelli, Tanganelli and Brandi are gradually rebuilding Scopetone’s reputation for excellence.” – Antonio Galloni, Vinous

“One of Montalcino’s most underrated producers.”– Ian d’Agata, Vinous
