Why shop with us?
Il Poggione’s Brunello di Montalcino 2021 is a beautifully expressive Sangiovese from one of Tuscany’s most respected estates. It combines classic Brunello structure with a lifted, modern sense of freshness, offering layers of red fruit, spice, and mineral depth that speak clearly of its Montalcino origins.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Brunello shows youthful energy and remarkable aromatic complexity. Notes of sage, brown spice, chestnut, and spiced blood orange unfold into dried black cherry and red berry fruit, with a subtle earthy and mineral edge that gives the wine real presence.
On the palate, it is supple yet firmly built, with a rounded texture, cooling acidity, and finely grained tannins. The finish is long, savory, and fresh, leaving behind citrus, spice, and a grippy mineral impression. This is a wine with excellent aging potential and will reward patience in the cellar.
Production
Produced in the heart of Montalcino, this wine benefits from the region’s warm days, cool nights, and varied soils that help preserve freshness while building concentration. The estate is known for working with carefully selected vineyard sites and harvesting at optimal ripeness to capture the purity and structure that define great Brunello.
Vinification is carried out with an emphasis on gentle extraction and balance, allowing the character of the Sangiovese grape to remain at the forefront. Aging in large oak casks helps refine the tannins and support the wine’s natural complexity without overwhelming its fruit and mineral expression.
Food & Serving
This Brunello is a natural partner for rich Tuscan dishes such as bistecca alla Fiorentina, slow-braised beef, wild boar ragù, mushroom risotto, or aged Pecorino. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for at least 1–2 hours to allow its aromas and structure to fully open.

Over the years, it has earned acclaim as a benchmark producer for traditional Brunello.
