Gigliola Giannetti is one of the leaders of the traditional style.

A Brunello of class. Wine Enthusiast : 97/100 : Wine Advocate : 95/100

Technique

Viticulture

Potazzine is a very traditional family estate that works with respect for its grape variety, its terroirs and tries to respect the nature and soul of the wines that have made the reputation of this region. Two distinct plots are at the origin of this wine: Le Prata, facing south-east at an altitude of 500 m.; Le Torre, facing south-west at 320 m. Cordon de royat cultivation, 5952 vines/ha.

Oenology

Fermentation takes place spontaneously, through the work of indigenous yeasts, maceration lasts about 28 to 30 days, then the wine is aged in 30/50 hl tuns for 38 to 40 months. It is then kept in the cellar for 10 to 12 months before being released for sale. This cuvée is regularly one of the best rated and most beautiful of the region in its classic style, a wine for long ageing.
