Description
This is one of the absolute top wines from Montalcino from the Tenuta Il Poggione estate. The grapes for this Brunello come from the very best vineyards of Tenuta Il Poggione from vines that are 25 - 40 years old. Il Poggione only makes its Brunello in the great wine years.
The Sangiovese Grosso grapes come from the oldest vineyards. The vineyards are located at an altitude between 150 and 450 meters. The grapes are picked by hand. After picking, the grapes are gently pressed. The fermentation process takes place in large steel vats at a controlled temperature of 25/28 ° C. The Brunello from Il Poggione undergoes maturation in French oak barrels of 30 and 50 hl for a period of 36 months. The wine then matures for at least 12 months in the bottle. The Brunello di Montalcino is a striking wine that shows the purity of Sangiovese. None of these elements dominates the other. A highlight that you can still enjoy for 20 years.
In the glass, Il Poggione has a ruby red color with intense aromas in the nose with mainly red ripe fruit cherries, herbs, liquorice, smoked meat, roses and grilled meat in the nose. In the mouth, Brunello has a tight and clear mouthfeel with fruit intensity full, powerful, complex, velvety soft and with a long lasting aftertaste. Decant in its young years.

Wijnhuis
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.
