Product Description

Overview

Winery: Tenuta Il Poggione

Il Poggione Vigna Paganelli Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is made from Sangiovese. 

Intense ruby red in appearance. Layered aromas of red fruit, savory spices and leather notes. The tannins are silky and the fruit comes back in multiple layers. Its long finish confirms that this wine is ready to drink now, but can be enjoyed for 20 years or more.

Pair this wine alongside red meats, game, accompanied by mushrooms or truffles, mature cheeses.

Review:

This single-vineyard Riserva delivers a generous, abundant and determined personality. This is Brunello with a capital B. The 2015 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Paganelli benefits from a warm and sun-soaked microclimate that is shielded from cold winter winds. You can taste the good health of the grapes thanks to those very direct aromas of black cherry, plum, tar, campfire ash and chalky mineral. The Paganelli vineyard is 12 hectares in size, with vines planted in 1964. The last time this wine was made was in 2012. Fruit from those old vines shape complex aromas, elegant tannins and bright freshness. Despite that handsome DNA, this is another new release from Il Poggione that will require more cellar age.

LAVINIO FRANCESCHI, LAND OWNER FROM FLORENCE, DECIDED TO VISIT THE AREA AFTER HEARING THE STORIES FROM A SHEPHERD, WHO BROUGHT HIS HERDS AROUND MONTALCINO DURING THE WINTER. HE FELL SO MUCH IN LOVE WITH THE LANDSCAPE AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN THAT AREA THAT HE DECIDED TO BUY LAND AND ESTABLISH A FARM.

Generation after generation, many resources were spent on research for quality, clonal selections, winemaking and aging techniques, and also by building a modern winery for the standards at that time.

Il Poggione was one of the first wineries to market the Brunello di Montalcino wine as early as the 1900’s, and one of the founding members of the Brunello di Montalcino Consortium.

After more than a Century, Lavinio Franceschi’s work is still a fundamental point of reference for his successors, Leopoldo and Livia, who continue to develop the business with that same dedication and unrelenting passion, combining the ancient skills of winemaking crafts and tradition with the latest, most innovative techniques.
