This is one of the absolute top wines from Montalcino, produced by the Tenuta Il Poggione estate. The grapes for this Brunello come from Tenuta Il Poggione's very best vineyards, with vines that are 25 to 40 years old. Il Poggione produces its Brunello only in the best vintages.

The Sangiovese Grosso grapes come from the oldest vineyards, situated at an altitude of between 150 and 450 meters. The grapes are harvested by hand. After harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in large steel vats at a controlled temperature of 25/28°C. Il Poggione's Brunello is aged in 30 and 50 hectoliter French oak barrels for 36 months. The wine then matures in the bottle for at least 12 months. The Brunello di Montalcino is a remarkable wine that showcases the purity of Sangiovese. None of these elements overpowers the other. A highlight you can enjoy for another 20 years.

In the glass, Il Poggione has a ruby red color and intense aromas on the nose, with a strong emphasis on ripe red fruit—cherries, herbs, licorice, smoked meat, roses, and grilled meat. On the palate, Brunello has a taut and clean mouthfeel with full, powerful, complex, velvety-smooth fruit intensity, and a long, lingering finish.

This is a 1.5-liter magnum in its original wooden box (OWC/1). Even more delicious and with a longer drinking window.

Tenuta Il Poggione is the grande dame of the brunello. Its origins go back to the year 1630. An important milestone in recent history is the year 1890, when the Florentine family Franceschi took over the winery in S. Angelo in Colle in the south of Montalcino.

Today, the Italian winery is owned by Leopoldo and Livia Franceschi, who own a 125-hectare vineyard. The large surface area allows the family to produce wines at a consistently high level every year. Due to its location, the winery benefits from the climate around the Amiata mountain and the Tyrrhenian sea and are located at an altitude of 150 to 450 meters above sea level. Because of the variation in the height of the vineyards, it is easier to harvest the grapes at the right time and to produce wines that can stay for a long time. Showpieces are the 'Vigna Paganelli' Brunello di Montalcino Riserva of a separate plot built in 1964, bottled only in the best years, and of course the 'normal' brunello. In 2004 a very modern wine cellar became operational. The wine can mature here in oak barrels at an optimum temperature of five meters. Fabrizio Bindocci, who is known as a specialist far beyond the borders of Montalcino, heads the winery. He keeps a close eye on the quality and ensures that Il Poggione remains part of the best brunello wines. The excellent reviews do not lie.
