Cut through by the Suga stream (so called because cork oaks probably grew along its banks since the 1500s), this estate on the northern slope of Montalcino witnessed a gradual reconversion<\/strong> of the land from arable to vines in the 1960s.
\nIn 1969 Val di Suga took its first steps in the midst of the pioneering era: it purchased an estate in the northern sector of Montalcino and reconverted the land intended for arable crops and fruit trees. The valley\u2019s position is a strategic one<\/strong>, it has always been renowned but, back then only a part was destined to viticulture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

During the 1980s an ambitious project began for Val di Suga to produce great Brunellos<\/strong> from defined areas and single vineyards. This went further than the approach at that time, which was mainly geared towards blends. In 1983 the Vigna del Lago Cru was created<\/strong>, from a single vineyard located between the lake and the winery, on the northern slope of Montalcino.
\nIn 1988 the Vigna Spuntali Cru was created<\/strong>, from a single vineyard purchased shortly beforehand, 15 hectares on the southwestern slope of Montalcino, facing the sea.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
