Tasting notes
Showing very nice results, with greater accessibility in this vintage, the Il Poggione 2020 Brunello di Montalcino has dark fruit aromas with blackcurrant followed by something spicy or herbal. I am reminded of licorice root, exotic spice, pressed rose and fragrant tea leaf. It finishes smoothly with silky tannins and an open-knit approach. This vintage is almost ready to drink, and you get elegant complexity at the same time. It sees three years in oak botti. Fruit is sourced across vineyards with 25-year-old-plus vines. This is an ample production of 200,000 bottles.

Key characteristics
About this wine
Sour cherry, dried herbs and a touch of leather on the nose, true to traditional Montalcino style. The palate is firm and structured, tannins tight around red fruit and tobacco, finishing long, savoury and gently austere.
