Le Potazzine Gorelli Brunello di Montalcino DOCG 2010
Vintage Character
2010 Le Potazzine Gorelli Brunello di Montalcino DOCG comes from one of Montalcino’s most celebrated modern classic vintages, shaped by a long, even growing season that preserved acidity and aromatic detail while allowing full phenolic ripeness. As a Brunello di Montalcino DOCG made from Sangiovese, it draws distinction from hillside vineyards within the Montalcino zone, where galestro-rich soils, elevation, and the area’s marked day-night temperature shifts help build both finesse and structure.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The Wine Advocate awarded this wine 96 points, underscoring its status in the vintage. The bouquet is precise and layered, offering red cherry, wild strawberry, violet and red currant, followed by cedar, sweet spice, tobacco leaf and a subtle earthy complexity. On the palate it is full-bodied yet poised, with vibrant acidity, fine but authoritative tannins, and a long, savory finish that balances purity of fruit with mineral lift. Pair it with bistecca alla Fiorentina, roast lamb with rosemary, or porcini mushroom risotto.
Winery Background
Le Potazzine was founded in 1993 by Giusi Gorelli and Giuseppe Janse de Adams, and the estate has become a benchmark for traditionally styled Brunello through its unwavering focus on Sangiovese purity. The family’s vineyards are farmed with a low-intervention mindset and careful manual work, reflecting a philosophy centered on transparent expression rather than cellar artifice. Fermentations are conducted in a traditional manner with extended maceration, and the wine is matured in large neutral Slavonian oak botti rather than new barrique, a choice that preserves perfume, site character, and the graceful age-worthy profile that defines the house.
