⭐️90/100⭐️ Tenuta Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino, 2012

⭐️90/100⭐️ Tenuta Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino, 2012 📍Sant’Angelo in Colle, Montalcino, Toscana, Italy🇮🇹 🍇 100% Sangiovese ⚡️ 14,5 % Tasted: August 2021 Very old school Brunello with a bouquet slowly opening up revealing well matured notes of baked red fruits (a bit aged tawny-like), dark cherry, old leather, cinnamon, anise, dried herbs, sweet tobacco and old coffee grounds. It’s quite dusty as well and has some iron and blood-like scents coming through. On the palate, it’s medium(+)-bodied with powdery tannins and medium acidity. Notes of dark cherry, prunes, baked tomato, cloves, oak, dark chocolate and rosemary/thyme-like herbs. The finish is long and balsamic, and the alcohol is (maybe a bit too) present. Not as floral as expected. • Grapes are hand-harvested from the winery’s oldest vineyards (150-450 meters altitude) • Fermented in steel tanks with indigenous yeasts • Malolactic fermentation in steel • Aged in big French oak barrels (30-50 hectoliters) for 3 years • Rested in bottle for 1 year An iconic winery in Toscana, still owned by the Francheschi-family since the establishment in 1890. They own 600 ha of land, of which 125 are vines and 70 are olive trees, in the area next to the village of San’tAngelo in Colle, which is known as being one of the best terroirs in the Brunello di Montalcino-area. Il Poggione is a winery with great quality, that delivers pretty much in all vintages. And the prices are not bad… Spottet at @ottosuensonvinhandel #wine #winelover #ilpoggione #brunellodimontalcino #toscana #italy #sangiovese #montalcino #brunello #organicwine #finewine #cultwine #wineporn #italia #italianwine #italianfood #copenhagen #winereview #winenotes #wineblogger #rome #wineteller #酒 #ワイン #vin #vinrouge #vino #vinorosso #winetime #🍷
