Well-defined tannins balance with vibrant acidity, creating a juicy mouthfeel. The finish is persistent with fruit and spice notes, delivering structure and expression." Winery Tasting Notes

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.

Poggio al Granchio, located on the southeastern side of Montalcino, expresses the distinctive characteristics of the galestro shale soils. These soils contribute to a wine with a lower pH, higher acidity, and thick, firm tannins. Known for its muscular expression, Poggio al Granchio represents the more powerful and age-worthy side of Brunello di Montalcino. The vineyard's unique terroir allows for the production of a wine with exceptional structure and the potential for long-term aging, reflecting a different, bold and enduring quality of the land.
