WINERY A historical producer in Montalcino that dates back to the 1960’s, Val di Suga is a pioneer in the production of terrior-driven Brunello and the only producer making three single-vineyards in three different estates: Vigna del Lago in the North-East, Vigna Spuntali in the South-West and Poggio al Granchio in the South-East.

WINE Rosso di Montalcino Spuntali is a single-vineyard wine that showcases the Mediterranean traits of a Sangiovese capable of showing the great energy hidden in a slope with a dry, sunny, and well-ventilated climate, combined with the clear influence of the sea outlining the crispness, liveliness, tension, and complexity of a wine that displays the youthful but profound spirit of this place.

A wine capable of expressing the energy from the slopes spanning 15 ha of vineyards, at an elevation of 300 m above sea level. The soil consists of sands from degraded Pietraforte stone.

The growing season began with a mild, wet winter, followed by an icy spring with frost and hail that reduced yields. Producers used fires and sprays to protect the vines. Cool, wet conditions persisted through May, but June’s dry weather was crucial for vine health. Hot weather in August and September helped the grapes mature, and despite the summer heat, the grapes retained good acidity and flavor. Harvest conditions were favorable, leading to a promising but lower-yielding crop, especially for Sangiovese. As with all great things that take time, this wine is showing beautifully.

After careful curation in the vineyard, the fruit is ushered into 40-HL Slavonian Oak Barrels for 6 months. Followed by 12 months in concrete vats prior to bottle ageing and release.

Yeast: Selected

This complex Rosso di Montalcino illustrates the generosity of the southern slope of th appellation, from which the grapes are carefully selected, with the grace of the wine type and the freshness of a Sangiovese whose wood aging is shorter than for Brunello di Montalcino. Floral, with notes of red fruit, especially cherries, and licorice and blood oranges. Lingering and succulent, it is sapid and tannic, with a crisp finish.
