The history of Val di Suga began in 1969, when a company owned by Aldo Moro bought farmland to the north of Montalcino and built a production and sales unit. That land, used for producing fodder at the time, was gradually converted to vineyards and underwent several changes in ownership. In 1982 Val di Suga started to produce wine and created a winemaking cellar. The first vintage to be sold was the “Val di Suga Brunello Riserva 1977”.

The early 1980s saw the start of the success and expansion of the Brunello di Montalcino designation. Thanks to this and the constant efforts and commitment, both in vinegrowing and winemaking, Val di Suga began to stand out in the Montalcino winemaking scene. But the strength and unique nature of the winery were decisive through the years, right from the start of production in the three vineyards located on the three slopes of the Montalcino hill, in the most suitable Brunello di Montalcino production areas.

This complex, single-vineyard Rosso di Montalcino illustrates the generosity of the southern slope of the appellation, from which the grapes are carefully selected, with the grace of the wine type and the freshness of a Sangiovese whose wood aging is shorter than for Brunello di Montalcino. This brilliant wine spends 6 months in 40-HL Slavonian oak barrels, followed by 12 months in concrete vats. Floral, with notes of red fruit, especially cherries and licorice, blood oranges. Lingering and succulent, it is sapid and tannic, with a crisp finish.
