The Sangiovese grape gives this Brunello a large and open bouquet with seductive flavors of black cherries, plums and a spicy element from the long aging in barrels. The taste is elegantly balanced, where the intense fruit is nicely complemented by the soft, ripe tannins and a long, rich aftertaste. An obvious companion for veal and lamb – preferably from the grill.

A Brunello where the Sangiovese grapes are harvested from Il Poggione’s own fields, from more than 20-year-old vines. The wine is fermented at a controlled temperature for 15 days before being transferred to oak barrels. Il Poggione uses large casks of between 30 and 50 hectoliters to create the best balance between cask and fruit in the wine. The wine is aged for 3 years in these casks before the final bottling. This is the classic storage method for Brunello. Il Poggione’s Brunello di Montalcino is ready to drink when released for sale, but also has great storage potential under the right circumstances.

“One of the first wineries to trade Brunello, one of the founding members of the Consortium. A Brunello marked by freshness, pomegranate to the nose, touches of citrus thyme and white pepper.”

“Dark nose, full of latakia tobacco, canned Italian licorice, dried blood orange, tamarind paste, dried cranberry. The taste is wonderful, classic, structured like 19th century wrought iron skeleton, combines red fresh yet dried fruitiness with sun-baked tomato and lots of rosemary . Insanely classy finish on unremarkable violin finish. Complete but crisp, intense but fine. I’m all up for the call. And it’s even more incredible when you consider the volume of production. Beautiful sangiovese.”

“This wine shows a dense center of gravity that is padded with dark cherry, blackberry, toasted spice, mahogany smoked meat and tilled earth.”
