It took a while for collectors to feel comfortable with the new releases after Piero Palmucci sold the iconic Poggio di Sotto property to Claudio Tipa, owner of ColleMassari and Grattamacco, in 2011. You could count me in the skeptical camp for years, while being told that very little would be changed in the vineyards and winery, yet tasting new releases without being overly impressed. However, I can now firmly say, having recently tasted the 2010 and 2013 Brunello Riservas, and now the 2015 Brunello, that Poggio di Sotto is officially back. We really shouldn’t be surprised, as Palmucci put his heart and soul into identifying this esteemed terroir in Castelnuovo dell’Abate, and then planting the perfect clones of Sangiovese to take full advantage of it. This continues to be one of the most Burgundian of all Brunellos, and worthy of it’s lofty price.
