 The Il Poggione 2019 Brunello di Montalcino shows an evolved bouquet, with aromas of dried fruit, forest floor, crushed flowers and autumn leaves. In the background come notes of dark liquorice, wet slate, cola and grilled rosemary. The tannins are fine and dry. As a result, I recommend a mid-term drinking window.

Il Poggione is one of the standout wineries around the picturesque village of Sant’Angelo in Colle. Its vineyards sit at altitudes from 150 to 450 metres above sea level. The vines are between 25 and 59 years old.

Conclusion and Potential: The review notes that another year of ageing will let the finish extend, helping the wine reach its full potential. The suggested drinking window is 2026 to 2042.
