 Il Poggione 2018 Brunello di Montalcino
94 pts Wine Spectator & Robert Parker

This is always terrific and this vintage is no exception.  This is pure class and it’s going to evolve beautifully. Approachable now but we recommend decanting for an hour or two before drinking. 

“The dense structure sets the pace for this red, with cherry, raspberry, mint and tar flavors that are appealing and expressive. Reveals rose hip, orange peel and earth details as this winds down on the long, expansive aftertaste.”  – Wine Enthusiast

It is ruby red with garnet undertones, and an intense, persistent aroma of red fruits, marasca cherries, leather, spices and vanilla. The texture is structured and full-bodied, with excellent freshness and balance.

One of the most highly regarded wineries in all of Tuscany, Tenuta Il Poggione makes incredibly powerful wines for collectors and everyday drinkers alike. Located in Saint Angelo in Colle in the commune of Montalcino, Tenuta Il Poggione was established at the end of the 19th century by Lavinio Franceschi and is still owned today by the 5th generation of its founder, siblings Leopoldo and Livia Franceschi.
