Il Poggione Description
Il Poggione is best known for its production of Brunello di Montalcino, a prestigious red wine made exclusively from Sangiovese grapes grown in the Montalcino region. The winery follows traditional winemaking techniques, including extended aging in large oak casks, to craft Brunello di Montalcino wines of exceptional quality, complexity, and aging potential.
Tasting Note: Luscious red fruit notes, elegantly complemented by hints of spice, tar, & tobacco. Balanced, tannic structure with exceptional acidity, resulting in a lingering finish.
Vinous: 96 Points
The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino pulls the taster close to the glass with its dark and earthy blend of crushed ashen stones, giving way to rosemary, cedar, exotic spice and a core of raspberry preserves. Enveloping and serene, this flows across the palate like pure silk, steadily building in tension as tart wild berries and orange hints give way to a sweet herbal thrust. The 2019 finishes with tremendous length and is classically structured, as crunchy tannins resonate and violet inner florals slowly fade over a tactile coating of minerality. Il Poggione has captured the radiance of the vintage, yet this is just a baby today.
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
The Il Poggione 2019 Brunello di Montalcino shows an evolved bouquet with aromas of dried fruit, forest floor, crushed flower and autumnal leaf. On a second nose, you get dark licorice, wet slate, cola and grilled rosemary. The tannins are powdery and dry. I recommend a medium-term drinking window as a result.
