Description
The area around Montalcino produces the most famous wines of Italy. The best of these come from the area south of the city. Here are the most famous and beautiful wineries and here is also the historic Il Poggione. The high (150-450m) location near the Amiata mountain and the Tyrrhenian Sea provides an ideal cooling influence and a wonderful microclimate which gives refinement and freshness to the wines.
This is the absolute top wine of the Tenuta Il Poggione estate. The grapes for this Brunello come from the very best vineyards of Tenuta Il Poggione from vines that are 40 years old. Il Poggione only makes the Brunello Riserva in the great wine years.
The Franchesci family, who have managed the domain for over 100 years, harvest the grapes in high altitude (150-450 meters) vineyards, of course by hand. After another careful selection of the grapes on the selection tables, the temperature-controlled fermentation takes place on stainless steel with natural yeasts, then maturation for 4 years on large French wooden barrels and another year in the bottle. Little frills and letting nature do its work (but with that precise control).
Suckling writes in his review (97/100): "Rather sweet due to the super ripe vintage. But there's also great subtlety, enormous depth and a ton of tannin behind the opulence. The super long finish is incredibly focused. Try to wait until at least 2020. T his stunning Brunello has decades of life ahead of it "
FACT: The wine is in our conditioned Wine Warehouse and if you come to pick up the wine you will often also receive a nice discount. You will see your discount immediately when you choose 'Pick up' on the checkout page. We are located in Dordrecht with plenty of parking. Click here for our address.

Here's a beautifully rich and succulent Brunello that drinks very nicely straight out of the gate. The 2012 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Paganelli delivers a warm, inviting and velvety presentation. This bold wine is redolent of black cherry and dried blackberry with sweet almond, toasted spice and balsam herb on the long finish. What stands out most, however, is the wine's rich texture that floods the mouth from front to back. That richness is fueled by the warmth of the vintage but also by the magnificent oak integration. This Riserva is aged in botti grandi for four long years. Bottle production is 45,000 strong.

Rather sweet due to the super ripe vintage. But there's also great subtlety, enormous depth and a ton of tannin behind the opulence. The super long finish is incredibly focused. Try to wait until at least 2020. This stunning Brunello has decades of life ahead of it.

From: Brunello di Montalcino: Sleek '13s, Surprising '12 Riservas (Apr 2018)
Deep red. Sweet spices, ripe red cherry and licorice on the broad nose. Rich, ripe and suave, showing insidious sweetness to the red cherry and herbal flavors, this big wine is balanced enough to hide its 15% alcohol very well. Less graceful than the 2013 Brunello from Il Poggione, but that has mostly to do with the hotter 2012 vintage.

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.
