Tenuta Il Poggione – Brunello di Montalcino 2019

This Brunello di Montalcino is a truly exceptional wine hailing from the oldest vineyards of the esteemed Il Poggione family winery. It represents the pinnacle of their winemaking expertise and the unique terroir of Montalcino.

The wine undergoes a lengthy maturation process, spending 30 months in French oak barrels followed by an additional two years refining in the bottle. This extended aging allows the wine to develop its full complexity and elegance. The result is a Brunello characterized by concentrated fruit notes of dark berries, such as black cherry and blackberry, interwoven with a subtle, spicy tobacco note that adds depth and intrigue.

On the palate, this wine is a marvel of balance and finesse. It offers a surprising freshness despite its concentration, complemented by soft, well-integrated tannins that provide structure without astringency. A harmonious acidity further contributes to the wine’s elegance, leading to a persistent finish that lingers beautifully.

With its exceptional balance, complexity, and structure, this Brunello di Montalcino possesses great aging potential. It’s a wine that can be enjoyed now, but will also continue to evolve and improve for many years to come, making it a true gem for collectors and connoisseurs alike. This is a princely wine, reflecting the heritage and dedication of the Il Poggione family.
