Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino 2020 is a classic expression of Sangiovese from one of Montalcino’s historic estates, produced from mature vineyards and aged traditionally in large oak casks.

The wine opens with black cherry and cranberry, followed by blood orange, dried flowers, sage and licorice. As it develops, notes of tobacco, spice and subtle balsamic character add further complexity.

The palate is generous but balanced, with ripe fruit, fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins giving the wine structure without making it severe. Compared with some more austere Brunello vintages, the 2020 is already quite approachable while still having the depth and balance to develop further in bottle.

Il Poggione has long been associated with a traditional style of Brunello, and this vintage shows that combination of Sangiovese freshness, savory complexity and long aging potential particularly well.

Food Pairing: Pair with bistecca alla Fiorentina, roast lamb, braised beef, wild boar ragù, porcini mushrooms, truffle dishes, or aged Pecorino.

Serve around 60–63°F. If drinking now, decant for approximately one hour.
