2022 Le Potazzine, Toscana Sangiovese

"Le Potazzine" (meaning "chickadee" in the local dialect, small very lively birds with coloured plumage) is the nickname given by the mother of proprietor, Gigliola Giannetti to her two granddaughters, Viola and Sofia who now have integral roles in the winery. After working for Biondi Santi for many years, Gigliola struck out on her own, establishing Le Potazzine in 1993, the year Viola was born. The property consists of five hectares planted to Sangiovese, all registered for Brunello production. Two thirds of the vineyards surround the cellar and home, and the other are located in the area of S. Angelo in Colle. Organic farming goes without saying.
