Brunello di Montalcino 'Vigna Spuntali' by Val di Suga is made in the best area of the southwest slope of Montalcino. Spuntali is a historic cru for Brunello di Montalcino. Sangiovese grapes in purity, aged for 24 months in French oak barrels, followed by a further refinement in bottle for at least 24 months. Balanced, very powerful and full-bodied, with a very long finish.
A company with a unique feature within the terroir of Montalcino, Val di Suga differs from the other local companies for its famous three vineyards located in the three exhibitions of Montalcino. Three vineyards in essence, marked by deeply different characteristics: Vigna del Lago is exposed to the north, Vigna Spuntali is located to the southwest and Poggio al Granchio is located south-east. A difference therefore unique that of the company belonging to the Bertani Domains group compared to the others operating in Montalcino, that of being able to count on completely different vineyards from them and can therefore produce three types of Brunello that are equally different.
The winery, located north-east of the municipality of Montalcino, is part of the original complex now renovated and reorganized with a new underground barrique and has a total area of 120 hectares, of which 55 are planted and cultivated in Sangiovese. Val di Suga's added value lies in the diversification of being able to offer three variations of Brunello which are the perfect representation of three great crus, where the evolutions of Sangiovese are expressed in the totality of wines that are real cult of wine Montalcino.

THE WINEYARD
The Vigna Spuntali is historically known as the best area of the southwestern slope of Montalcino, the slope facing the sea.
Spuntali is a historic cru for Brunello di Montalcino; it is a unique terroir, thanks to which it has become a historic and easily recognizable icon of Brunello over the years.
The Spuntali slope is the sunniest and dryest of the three slopes of Brunello; it has a Mediterranean climate given its vicinity to the sea, less than 40 km. The sea plays a decisive role here, mitigating the warm summer nights and cold winters. This enables an early reawakening of the plant in spring and an important day/night temperature swing in summer. These climatic conditions make this the very first place the grapes are harvested in the whole Brunello di Montalcino area.
In this unique terroir, Sangiovese makes the most of the beneficial effects of the sun, reaching maximum ripening and producing very creamy wines, with sweet, soft tannins and notes of candied fruit.
