Sugarille Brunello di Montalcino DOP
Sugarille is the name given to the parish estate, as a result of the inventory drawn up in 1547 by canon Giovanni Sampieri. In italian, "sughero" means cork, as to indicate that in the area, there were a lot of cork trees. Sugarille is the name both of the vineyard and the wine.
A single vineyard facing south and covering a surface of 4.5 hectares mainly consisting of clay and limestone, with the presence of galestro.

"The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Sugarille bursts from the glass with masses of thyme, incense, rosemary and cedar before giving way to dried strawberries. It presents a subtle inner sweetness and elegant texture, coming across as weighty yet refined, with polished red berry fruits swirling throughout and leaving a bitter licorice tinge to linger on the palate. A complex web of fine-grained tannins flexes on the palate as a tart wild berry saturation lingers incredibly long. The 2021 is youthfully dense and tightly wound today, with the balance for a long and glorious evolution."
