Description
Glossy and lustrous ruby in the glass, it is profoundly perfumed, delivering a floral mist of dried rose, black cherry and sandalwood. Light on its feet with a silkiness to the mouthfeel before arriving at a punchy finish of sweet black cherry, blackberry and brighter cranberry flavours which give the wine balance and structure. Due to the extensive ageing process required to produce Brunello, by the time the wine arrives in your glass it already proudly exhibits complexity and evolution. Il Poggione is full of the fruits that the nose promises, with a supporting cast of leather, liquorice, and cedar. The finish is defined and long. Remarkably drinkable now, if not for the tannins that could do with a while to soften out. Beautiful wine. Drink 2025 – 2032.
