Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino DOCG is a benchmark expression of Sangiovese from one of the most respected estates in Tuscany. Carrying Italy's highest wine classification, it is made exclusively from hand-picked grapes grown on old vines at altitude, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged for three years in large French oak barrels before further bottle ageing. The result is a richly layered wine with notes of red cherry, leather, spice, and dried herbs, backed by savory, earthy depth and fine, grippy tannins. Full-bodied and complete, it reflects the classic character of Montalcino terroir in every glass, built to age gracefully for years.
