Poggio di Soto was established in 1989 in Castelnuovo dell’Abate, in southern Montalcino, by Piero Palmucci. Palmucci had researched the area to find the best location for Sangiovese Grosso and within a few years he was making notable Brunello. In 2011 he sold the estate to Claudio Tipo, owner of the wineries Colle Massari and Grattamacco. The 25-acre estate is completely organic. The three wines produced Brunello di Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino Riserva (made only in exceptional vintages), and Rosso di Montalcino.
