Gorelli--Artisanal Brunello from High Altitude

Proprietor Giuseppe Gorelli takes an artisan's approach to winemaking, producing wines of flawless quality with distinctive character and personality on a very small scale.

The family originally established their reputation for great Brunello di Montalcino at the "Due Portine" property, owned by Giuseppe's father. The "Due Portine" property has now merged with that of son Giuseppe, and all releases come from the family's "Le Potazzine" label. From vineyards located in two areas of Montalcino, one closer to the town, and one in its southernmost slopes. They lie at relatively high altitudes, contributing to an aromatically driven, less robust style of Brunello.

Giuseppe Gorelli has been called among "the best of the younger producers of Montalcino, and an estate that has not missed a step since 1988" by Stephen Tanzer.
