2021 Il Poggione Rosso di Montalcino
Grape
Sangiovese
Its Origins
Il Poggione is one of Montalcino's best and also more historic estates, established at the end of the 19th Century by Lavinio Franceschi and now run by the fifth generation. But the star quality may be the current winemakers, father-son team Fabrizio and Alessandro Bindocci. With consummate skill they have introduced modern technology while maintaining traditional style and techniques, similarly balancing a natural and non-interventionist ethic while remaining unusually involved in every aspect of vineyard and production. As superlatives are lavished on their wines from the highest quarters, Il Poggione is coming to embody the supreme quality on offer from this famous yet still undervalued Tuscan appellation.
What The Critics Say
93/100 WinesCritic.com, Rafaelle Vecchione
"Precise and captivating, it shows notes of black plums, plums, mixed flowers and white chocolate. Medium-full body, biting tannins and a noteworthy finish that shows wisdom and knowledge of the material in the difficult vintage. Better from 2023."
92/100 James Suckling
"A nicely spicy Rosso di Montalcino with cloves, dried flowers, sour cherries and orange peel on the nose. Creamy and medium- to full-bodied, with chalky tannin's and a ripe, chocolaty finish. Drink or hold."
92/100 Wine and Spirits
"This is a robust and structured Rosso, its dark cherry flavors riding on firm, new-leather tannins as the wine gains notes of warm spice and graphite. Decant it to coax out the juicy red fruit tones."
