Val di Suga
Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Riserva Vigna Spuntali
First produced in 1988, Vigna Spuntali is one of Montalcino’s iconic wines. This single vineyard is located in the southwestern sector, characterized by sandy soils rich in sandstone. Sangiovese cultivated on this slope represents the Mediterranean soul of Val di Suga wines: complex, spicy, candied, full-bodied, soft, and savory.
Vintage Factsheets
Val di Suga’s Spuntali vineyard covers 15 hectares at an elevation of 300 meters above sea level. The soils, rich in sands from degraded Pietraforte stone, ensure excellent drainage and promote grape concentration. The vineyard is planted with over 30-year-old vines, which produce grapes with depth and complexity. This combination of altitude, soil, and mature vines creates a perfect microclimate for Sangiovese Grosso, resulting in a wine that beautifully reflects the unique terroir of Montalcino with balance and elegance.

On the nose, the wine reveals an intense fruit profile: cherry and blackberry alternate with notes of thyme and rosemary, distinctive traits that have always defined it. The palate shows balanced density; the sip is satisfying, deep, and at the same time pleasantly spicy. A Riserva capable of preserving, over time, the story of a great vintage.

"Sporting a saturated red hue, the 2020 Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Spuntali is spiced and layered on the nose, with dried cherries, strawberries, olive, anise, cedar, and menthol, leaning into a more Mediterranean profile in this vintage. The palate is medium to full-bodied and generous, with sweet tannins, zesty freshness, and mouthwatering salinity that builds through the long finish. It has terrific depth while staying energetic and is one of the richer expressions of the estate. Drink 2026-2040."

"Sweet strawberries with plums and fine spices. Medium body with rich flavors and firm, fine-grained tannins. Ripe, but also fresh and juicy, with very good balance, structure and length. Drinkable already, but better with two more years."
