25-60yr Sangiovese Grosso aged 36 months in French oak, plus 12 months in bottle.

Brunello is the prince of Montalcino wine, produced exclusively from Sangiovese grapes picked by hand from the oldest vines in the farm. After a careful fermentation at controlled temperature, Tenuta Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino is aged in French oak barrels and then bottle aged, essential stages in guaranteeing the pleasantness and  complexity that have made the Brunello di Montalcino a world-renowned red wine.

99 "The great classicism of the Franceschi family in the readings of a Brunello among the staples of the denomination. Nose of freshness, pomegranate, touches of lemongrass and ginger, with citrusy hints. Briny tannins on the palate, recall of pomegranate and notes of ginger." – Luca Gardini

96 “The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino pulls the taster close to the glass with its dark and earthy blend of crushed ashen stones, giving way to rosemary, cedar, exotic spice and a core of raspberry preserves. Enveloping and serene, this flows across the palate like pure silk, steadily building in tension as tart wild berries and orange hints give way to a sweet herbal thrust. The 2019 finishes with tremendous length and is classically structured, as crunchy tannins resonate and violet inner florals slowly fade over a tactile coating of minerality. Il Poggione has captured the radiance of the vintage, yet this is just a baby today." – Vinous
