Brunello di Montalcino DOCG

Vigna Poggio Cerrino

SELECT VINTAGE

Un vino riscoperto.Le lontane e nobili origini di Podere Soccorso ci hanno ispirato a riprodurre la veste grafica dell’etichetta, riproporre la tecnica enologica mantenendo le caratteristiche della tradizione locale, le stesse che più di centocinquanta anni prima venivano già riconosciute e premiate in Italia ed all’estero, con lo sguardo aperto al futuro. Il Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Soccorso è un cru da uve 100% Sangiovese ottenute esclusivamente dalla vigna dell’unità poderale omonima. Il terreno è limoso/sabbioso, sciolto ma con inclusioni di scheletro da rocce vulcaniche, areniti con presenza di tischi. Sotto lo strato sciolto di terreno sono presenti grandi rocce magmatiche e sedimentarie. La densità di impianto è pari a 4500 piante per ettaro.

 

Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Vigna Soccorso: di questa annata abbiamo prodotto 6700 bottiglie da 750ml e 150 bottiglie Magnum da 1,5L.

Description

The first Brunello.
There is a special bond between Babbo Enzo and Poggio Cerrino because it was from this vineyard he produced his first Brunello in the1980. This is why Poggio Cerrino tells a story of personal growth and of a territory, of social emancipation, it speaks of a solid present and a better future. It is the Brunello of optimism, of will, of the courage of enterprise and the strength of a dream. From the 2017 vintage, it is the estate’s other cru, as like the Brunello Vigna Soccorso. It is made with grapes from a single vineyard in the “Canalicchio” area northeast of Montalcino. Here the soil is predominantly clayey with a lot of limestone and skeleton, residues of calcium agglomerates and presence of fossils but also sandy with marl schist and alberese stones. Plant density is 3,000-3500 vines per hectare.

Tasting notes

This Brunello is also nice to drink right away, but it won't necessarily go far over time. A child of a warmer vintage, it has the freshness of sangiovese from the northern area. We recommend a large goblet whose shape can be tulip-shaped, rounded or more square at the bottom near the stem, in any case with ample drinker to allow the earthy aromas to unfold, emphasizing the long harmonic finish and its complexity.
