Brunello di Montalcino Il Poggione 2010

`Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino 2010 is a full-bodied Sangiovese from the Montalcino hills of Tuscany. Founded in the 1800s, Il Poggione is one of the most historic estates in Montalcino and has been owned in the Franceschi family for five generations. The estate`s reputation for producing some of the best wines in the region was cemented by former winemaker Pierluigi Talenti (1958-1999). Talenti was succeeded by Fabrizio Bindocci, who was in turn succeeded by his own son, Alessandro. "Il Poggione`s 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is a remarkably beautiful wine. Rose petal, mint, cinnamon, sweet dark cherries and smoke lift from the glass in a translucent, wiry Brunello built on energy and power. This is an especially lifted, precise and nuanced Brunello from Il Poggione, with more emphasis on length and mid-weight structure rather than overt volume." Vinous, 2015
