Aged for 36 months in oak barrels. Typical Brunello nose with notes of dry roses, ripe and fresh strawberries and soft spices such as cinnamon and cloves. Full-bodied with concentrated ripe fruits and smooth tannins well-balanced with the acidity that lingers on the palate and leads to a pleasant refreshing finish.
Producer description:
Il Poggione is known for making “some of the smoothest and most texturally enriched wines in the appellation” as stated in Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. Intense, powerful and full-bodied, the wines made here are classic Brunello in style and can age wonderfully. They are also amongst the most fairly-priced Brunellos on the market.

Stretching southward from Sant’Angelo in Colle, Il Poggione’s 140 hectares of vineyards rise from 120m to 430m above sea level. Vines with a minimum 25 years of age are singled out for the Brunello. A sun-soaked nose of macerated cherry and nutmeg is offset by porcini and leather. This has all the generosity and lushness of the south, with dusty tannins folded in to give shape. Dense red fruit is punctuated by sweet, dried herbs and the finish offers a saline twist. There is a lot of wine here, but it is impeccably balanced.

The 2020 is seamless from start to finish... It goes without saying that they achieved remarkable balance from this warm year. The 2020 is a more immediate style—bright and punchy. Still, considering that the typical Il Poggione Brunello takes 10 to 15 years even to begin to enter its window of maturity, I welcome this edition.

Showing very nice results, with greater accessibility in this vintage, the Il Poggione 2020 Brunello di Montalcino has dark fruit aromas with blackcurrant followed by something spicy or herbal. I am reminded of licorice root, exotic spice, pressed rose and fragrant tea leaf. It finishes smoothly with silky tannins and an open-knit approach. This vintage is almost ready to drink, and you get elegant complexity at the same time. It sees three years in oak botti. Fruit is sourced across vineyards with 25-year-old-plus vines.
