2020 Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino

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 to 40 years old. Il Poggione produces its Brunello only in great vintages.

The Sangiovese Grosso grapes come from the oldest vineyards. The vineyards are situated at an altitude between 150 and 450 meters. The grapes are hand-picked. After picking, the grapes are gently pressed. The fermentation process takes place in large steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 25/28°C. The Brunello from Il Poggione undergoes aging in 30 and 50 hl French oak barrels for a period of 36 months. Subsequently, the wine ages in the bottle for at least 12 months. The Brunello di Montalcino is a striking wine that showcases the purity of Sangiovese. None of these elements dominates the other. A highlight that you can enjoy for another 20 years.

In the glass, Il Poggione has a ruby red color with intense aromas on the nose, particularly ripe red fruit: cherries, spices, licorice, smoked meat, roses, and grilled meat. On the palate, the Brunello has a crisp and clear mouthfeel with fruit intensity—full, powerful, complex, velvety—and a long-lasting finish. Decant in its youth.
