Poggione Brunello 2018

Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino 2018

A benchmark of traditional Brunello, Il Poggione 2018 captures the estate’s hallmark balance of structure, elegance, and longevity. Sourced from high-elevation vineyards in southern Montalcino, this vintage reflects a cooler growing season that emphasizes freshness, aromatic clarity, and refined tannins.

The nose is lifted and precise, offering aromas of sour cherry, red currant, and wild strawberry layered with rose petal, dried herbs, and subtle notes of spice and earth. On the palate, the wine is medium- to full-bodied, with vibrant acidity and finely textured tannins that give energy and structure. Flavors of red fruit, savory tobacco, and mineral nuances unfold gradually into a long, poised finish.

More classical and restrained than warmer vintages, the 2018 Il Poggione Brunello is already appealing with decanting, yet clearly built for extended cellaring.
