Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino 2019

Top producer in a top vintage. 

The wines of Il Poggione are true icons of Brunello Di Montalcino, one of the finest wine producing regions in the world! The winery is owned by the Marchesi family back to 1980 and is a founding member of the Brunello Consortium. Today father and son Fabrizio and Alessandro Bindocci run Il Poggione and Fabrizio is also the president of the Brunello di Montalcino consortium. Il Poggione’s Brunello’s are highly sought after and always receive massive press. Most notably Il Poggione Brunello was #4 on the Wine Spectator’s Top 100 in 2015.

99 Points, Luca Gardini, Gardini Notes: "The great classicism of the Franceschi family in the readings of a Brunello among the staples of the denomination. Nose of freshness, pomegranate, touches of lemongrass and ginger, with citrusy hints. Briny tannins on the palate, recall of pomegranate and notes of ginger." 10/23

The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino pulls the taster close to the glass with its dark and earthy blend of crushed ashen stones, giving way to rosemary, cedar, exotic spice and a core of raspberry preserves. Enveloping and serene, this flows across the palate like pure silk, steadily building in tension as tart wild berries and orange hints give way to a sweet herbal thrust. The 2019 finishes with tremendous length and is classically structured, as crunchy tannins resonate, and violet inner florals slowly fade over a tactile coating of minerality. Il Poggione has captured the radiance of the vintage, yet this is just a baby today.
