Val Di Suga Brunello Di Montalcino 2015
Val di Suga
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”.
Right from the start, there was a rapid growth in vine-growing and winemaking. 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 vine-growing and winemaking, Val di Suga began to stand out in the Montalcino winemaking scene.
A few years later, in 1994, the Gruppo Angelini came along and gave Val di Suga new drive, which was already winning awards and recognised on an international level for its high-quality wines.
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.

Winemaker Andrea Lonardi is a winemaking Wunderkind. Our head buyer Mark Faber first met him in London where they attended the Master of Wine global seminar together, and Mark was blown away by Andrea's technical expertise and knowledge, as well as his flawless palate. Mark sought him out in Italy, and persuaded him to sell his Val di Suga wines in Australia. This small winery is a passion project for Andrea, who makes millions of bottles per year under the Bertani label.
While still paying homage to classic Brunello style, Andrea has shaped a truly beautiful set of wines. He selects parcels from 3 sites throughout Brunello, each bringing a different element, and creating a symphony of flavours- a unique balance between freshness and structure, body and elegance.
