THE WINE
The Brunello di Montalcino 'Vigna del Lago' by Val di Suga originates in the coldest area of Brunello, the last to be harvested. A historic cru for Brunello di Montalcino. Pure Sangiovese grapes, aged for 30 months in French oak barrels, followed by an additional aging in bottle of at least 18 months. A Brunello of great softness, roundness, and lightness.
THE VINEYARD
The northern slope of Montalcino was once not as vineyard-dense, but dedicated to the cultivation of cereals, olives, and cherries. In this area, which is influenced by the Apennines, the seasons are more distinct, of a continental type, and the north wind lowers the temperature significantly in the winter period. Therefore, it is the coldest area of Brunello in this season, but also the rainiest. This northern slope is characterized by the gentle topography of the hills: a feature that resembles more the senesi clays, immediately following, than the two steeper, hotter southern slopes of Montalcino. The climate and the soil origins mean that this area of Montalcino is the last to be harvested.
Vigna del Lago is the vineyard that welcomes all visitors arriving from the north to Montalcino. It takes its name from the lake that surrounds it and plays a decisive role in the micro-climate of this area; the soil is a continuous alternation of clay and strips of very fine galestro.
THE COMPANY
A company with a unique characteristic within the terroir of Montalcino, Val di Suga distinguishes itself from other companies in the area for its famous three vineyards located in three different exposures of Montalcino. Three vineyards essentially, marked by profoundly different characteristics: Vigna del Lago is exposed to the north, Vigna Spuntali is located to the southwest, and Poggio al Granchio is located to the southeast. Therefore, the uniqueness of the company, part of the Bertani Domains group, lies in its ability to rely on completely different vineyards and thus produce three types of Brunello that are equally distinct.
The winery, located to the northeast of the municipality of Montalcino, is part of the original complex now renovated and reorganized with a new underground barrel room and covers a total area of 120 hectares, of which 55 are planted with Sangiovese. The added value of Val di Suga lies precisely in the diversification of being able to offer three variants of Brunello that are the perfect representation of three great crus, where the evolutions of Sangiovese are expressed in a totality of wines that are true cults of Montalcino winemaking.
