Il Poggione, Grappa di Brunello

Il Poggione Grappa di Brunello is an exceptionally rounded and intense Italian grappa made from the pomace of the estate’s celebrated Brunello di Montalcino. It offers a refined way to experience the character of Sangiovese in a distilled form, with the pedigree of one of Tuscany’s most respected producers behind it.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows the clarity and brilliance expected of a well-crafted grappa. The nose is expressive and elegant, with warm notes that echo ripe red fruit, grape skin, and subtle floral and herbal nuances, followed by a clean spirit lift. On the palate, it is full-flavoured, smooth, and powerful without feeling harsh, delivering a persistent impression of dried fruit, spice, and the classic vinous depth of Brunello pomace. The finish is long and warming, with impressive balance and enough structure to reward slow sipping. It is best enjoyed young and vibrant, though its quality comes from immediate charm rather than extended cellaring.

Production
Produced in Tuscany from the pomace of Il Poggione’s Brunello di Montalcino grapes, this grappa reflects the quality of the underlying Sangiovese fruit and the estate’s careful winemaking. The raw material comes from one of Montalcino’s most notable terroirs, where warm days, cool nights, and well-suited soils help create grapes with concentration and aromatic finesse. After distillation, the spirit is crafted to preserve purity, texture, and the distinctive character of the grape skins and seeds.

Food & Serving
Serve as a digestif after a good meal, ideally slightly chilled or at cool room temperature to keep its aromas expressive and the alcohol well integrated. It pairs especially well with dark chocolate, almond biscotti, aged cheeses, or simply coffee, and does not require decanting; a small tulip-shaped glass is ideal for enjoying it slowly.

Producer
Il Poggione is one of the historic names of Montalcino, long recognised for producing benchmark Brunello di Montalcino. The estate has built a strong reputation for quality, consistency, and respect for tradition, making it a reference point in Tuscany. Its Grappa di Brunello extends that same attention to detail into the world of spirits, turning winemaking remnants into a polished and expressive distillate.
