We saw the “baby” a couple of months ago. But now we have the Riserva!

This beautiful black and gold bottle… It’s the original real McCoy, just now entering its prime enjoyment window… with a decade or more to spare!

Wine Advocate said: “these wines renewed my faith in the enormous potential of Montalcino.”

Love, love, LOVE the insider wine world!

This is as close as one can get to the $300 Poggio di Sotto? These sister properties share the terroir and the winemaking. Mic drop.

If you know, you know.

SevenFifty explains, “After the acquisition, the Tipa-Bertarelli family worked to preserve the old vineyards of the property. They extended that love of tradition to the cellar. Working with low yields of about 2 tons/acre, winemaker Luca Marrone ferments spontaneously in stainless steel, then ages both wines in 30hl to 40hl casks for styles that are slightly more bolder and concentrated than neighboring Poggio di Sotto. The two estates share the same farming regimen… At San Giorgio, gravel and clay of volcanic origin give their wines a round, deep structure, offering the same quality and terroir by way of expression and a lower price tag than Poggio di Sotto.”

Lower by how much? Have they seen our price?! It’s never been, nor ever will be, this affordable.

Yet what’s in the glass is money. It’s all that Brunello lovers expect and more. An exotic and racy take on Sangiovese Grosso, with intensely forward red-toned fruits, expressive aromatics, and an up-front, bold personality. Sweet red cherries, pomegranate, flowers, dried porcini mushrooms, and spearmint grace the racy long finish. The balance between berries and earth, sweet and savory, is a true testament to the impeccable terroir and winemaking.

Be the cool kid with the insider’s story. Jump on this and thank us later.

96 Points – Wine Spectator “Stitched with cherry, strawberry, iron and tobacco flavors, this round red is intense and elegant, with a dense matrix of tannins and vibrant acidity lending support as this cruises to a long, detailed aftertaste. A harmonious wine that should develop well. Best from 2026 through 2043.”

96 Points – James Suckling “Very intense nose of lemon leaves, rosebuds and pomegranates. The freshness is supported by a smooth palate with a full body, crisp acidity and dense, velvety tannins of great ripeness. Refined, savory and vibrant in the finish. Drink or hold.”
