Poggione Brunello 2019

Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino 2019

A cornerstone of traditional Brunello, Il Poggione 2019 reflects the estate’s long-standing reputation for structure, authenticity, and remarkable longevity. Sourced from high-elevation vineyards in southern Montalcino, the outstanding 2019 vintage brings together concentration, aromatic precision, and vibrant balance.

The nose is expressive and layered, revealing aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, and plum accented by rose petal, dried Tuscan herbs, and subtle hints of tobacco and sweet spice. On the palate, the wine is medium- to full-bodied, with finely woven tannins and bright acidity that provide energy and definition. Flavors of red and dark fruit, savory earth, and mineral notes build toward a long, harmonious finish.

More structured and age-worthy than the cooler 2018, the 2019 Il Poggione Brunello combines depth and elegance, making it compelling now with decanting and highly promising for extended cellaring.
