ORGANICALLY FARMED
KERIN O'KEEFE 97 POINTS - "The beautiful floral nose reveals violet and rose that mingle with perfumed berry and spicy notes. Juicy and savory, the linear palate is all about finesse and energy, delivering tart red cherry, strawberry compote, cinnamon and star anise framed in tense, refined tannins and bright acidity. Drink 2024–2033. 14% abv. Kerin O’Keefe November 2022 ©kerinokeefe.com"
WINE ENTHUSIAST 97 POINTS - "A sweet and savory nose features lighter notes of cherry, vanilla and cedar standing up to umami balsamic vinegar, olives and rocks. The palate welcomes a sour wave of dried cranberries, pomegranate and citrus before an astringent finish. This wine will make the whole table sit up straight and pay attention." — Danielle Callegari
WINE ADVOCATE 94+ POINTS - "Le Potazzine delivers solid results thanks to the impressive positioning of its vines that straddle the crown of a high-elevation plain. The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino shows bright fruit with cherry and redcurrant, and that makes all the difference. Careful oak aging has enhanced the aromas. I also feel the effects of careful cellar aging in terms of mouthfeel, especially the structure and tannins. The wine is tightly stitched together with a point of sourness on the close..."
ERIC GUIDO, VINOUS 94+ POINTS - "The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino takes some coaxing to come together in the glass, dusty yet floral, with crushed ashen stones and a core of plum followed by savory herbs and black currant beneath it all. This is elegance personified, casting velvety textural waves of ripe red and blue berries across the palate, all lifted by brisk acidity, and with a flourish of lavender that lights up the senses. A coating of fine tannins lingers, yet the mouth is left watering for more, as nuances of licorice and blackberry slowly fade. The 2018 is a classy rendition of the vintage, elevated by a slightly higher declassification of juice that went into the Rosso di Montalcino..."
Founded only in 1993, Le Potazzine (poh-tah-DZEE-nay) means the chickadees, which is a term of endearment used for children in the Montalcino area. The winery, headed by Gigliola Gorelli was so named for her daughters Viola and Sofia, who are represented by the two little birds on the wine’s label. The three of them now lead the winery operations together. For being a relative newcomer here, they have built an impressive reputation!
