Poggio di Sotto

This is a stellar set of wines from Poggio di Sotto. Proprietor Claudio Tipa and Winemaker Federico Staderini continue to pursue the house style made famous by former owner Piero Palmucci and long-time consulting winemaker Giulio Gambelli. Staderini makes the wines at Poggio di Sotto pretty much as he learned from Gambelli. Volatile acidity is always a characteristic, but at times it is perceptibly high, as is the case in both the 2010 and 2011 vintages. In other years, such as 2012 and 2013, the volatile acidities are much less evident. The estate does nothing to encourage or discourage volatile acidity. "The wines come as they come," says Staderini. Subsequent to his acquisition of Poggio di Sotto, Tipa bought the adjacent estate, Poggio Celsi, with an eye to potentially adding some of those blocks to Poggio di Sotto when viticulture has caught up.
