Il Poggione is one of the original founding estates of Brunello di Montalcino and remains a benchmark for the region, turning out classically structured, ageworthy Sangiovese that consistently overdelivers. The vines sit in the warm, well-ventilated zone of Sant'Angelo in Colle in the southern reaches of Montalcino, and the Bindocci family ages the wine in large neutral casks so the Sangiovese and the terroir, not the oak, lead the way. The 2020 is a current release from a warm but balanced vintage, generous and approachable while still built on Il Poggione's signature backbone. It's drinking well now with air, and it'll reward a few years in the cellar too. Traditional Brunello with real pedigree and genuine value.

"The 2020 Brunello di Montalcino is explosive, bright and punchy at first, evolving from cranberry to cherry with dusty sage, spiced blood orange and Tuscan dust. The is pure elegance, texturally deep and nearly velvety in feel with a core of tart wild berries that add contrast as a balsamic tinge emerges along with fine-grained tannins toward the close. It finishes long, structured and staining, leaving a flinty sensation and primary core of fruit that drenches the palate as violet inner florals and hints of lavender abound. The 2020 is seamless from start to finish and, while more approachable than a typical vintage of Il Poggione, is balanced for an extended maturation." —Eric Guido

"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." —Monica Larner

"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."

"The robust Il Poggione 2020 Brunello has classic varietal aromas of forest floor, violet, woodland berry and a whiff of new leather. On the solid palate, tightly woven, close-grained tannins envelop dried cherry, orange zest, licorice and tobacco. Drink 2029–2035." —Kerin O'Keefe

Full-bodied Sangiovese: dark cherry, plum, leather, tobacco and a savory, earthy thread; firm but ripe tannins, fresh acidity, long finish. Drinks well now, will age.
