Collection: Le Potazzine

Potazzine is the italian word for very colorful and vivacious birds which inhabit the Tuscan countryside.And was used as a term of endearment for Gigliola Giannetti's daughters, Viola and Sofia, by their maternal grandmother. 

The estate consists of five hectares of vineyards registered in Brunello, three of which are located in the proximity of the winery, 507 meters above sea level, with an age average of 14 years.The rest are located in the area of Sant’Angelo in Colle, about 420 meters above sea level, implanted in 1996.

The aim pursued right from the first vinification at Le Potazzine, was to make wine in the most natural way possible, seeking balance, elegance and outstanding personality through natural fermentations, thanks to indigenous yeasts, alongside long macerations and ageing in medium-sized Slavonian oak barrels, in compliance with the tradition, for both Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino, create the foundations for the creation of wines with smooth tannins with a tangible and recognisable style that reveals absolute finesse
