About the Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino 2020
Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino 2020 is an exceptional, classic expression of Sangiovese produced from hand-picked grapes grown on the oldest vines at Tenuta Il Poggione in southern Montalcino. Aged for three years in traditional large Slavonian oak casks (botti) followed by extended bottle maturation, it exhibits an alluring, complex bouquet of dark cherry, tart blackberry, and wild plum, seamlessly interwoven with nuances of licorice root, cloves, coffee, fresh mint, and fragrant dried rose petals. On the palate, the wine delivers a harmonious balance of power and grace, combining dense, velvety red and black fruit flavors with polished, grippy tannins, a refreshing vein of acidity, and savory hints of iron-rich earth, tobacco, and subtle mocha that carry through to a long, persistent finish.
Food Pairing: Roasted red meats, grilled bistecca, wild game, braised beef short ribs, ossobuco, rich mushroom dishes, and mature hard cheeses.

94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
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.
94 Points - Wine Spectator
This red is rich and dense, woven with flavors of cherry, blackberry, plum, black pepper, earth, iron and tobacco. Combines power and grace, with fine balance. The finish echoes the fruit and spice notes. Best from 2028 through 2045.
