Le Potazzine - Brunello Di Montalcino 2015 is crafted in Italy’s most renowned vineyard zones, where strict appellation rules and centuries of tradition govern production. Grapes are harvested by hand from hillside vineyards, often with a mix of marl and clay soils that encourage long ripening and concentrated fruit. Only the healthiest clusters are chosen, reflecting a deep respect for quality at the source.

Fermentation typically takes place in temperature‑controlled tanks with extended maceration to draw structure from the skins. Aging follows in large oak casks or a mix of French barriques and Slavonian botti, often for years, which allows the wine to develop depth and character while remaining faithful to its terroir. The final blend is assembled after careful tasting, ensuring balance, typicity, and longevity.

The estate’s approach blends traditional methods with modern precision, preserving regional identity while meeting international standards of excellence.

Le Potazzine

Le Potazzine is a highly respected Italian wine brand from the Brunello di Montalcino appellation in Tuscany. The winery was founded in 1996 by Giuseppe Gorelli and his wife, Gigliola, and it is a family-run estate that has quickly gained a reputation for crafting wines of exceptional purity and elegance.

The brand's name, "Le Potazzine," is a local Tuscan dialect term for goldfinches, which are common birds in the area and a favorite of the Gorelli family. This name reflects the family's deep connection to the land and their commitment to natural winemaking.

Le Potazzine is known for its traditional approach to winemaking. The focus is on the Sangiovese grape, the only varietal permitted in Brunello di Montalcino. The winery practices organic viticulture in its high-altitude vineyards and ferments its wines with indigenous yeasts. The wines are aged for an extended period in large Slavonian oak barrels, a method that allows the fruit and terroir to be the primary focus, rather than overwhelming oak flavors. The resulting wines are often described as ethereal, aromatic, and refined, with a a beautiful balance of fruit, acidity, and structure.
