This has notes of dark plums, cherries, thyme, walnuts and olives. Savory, textured and balanced, with a full body and expansive, creamy tannin’s. Drink or hold.
Il Poggione Toscana Rosso 2021
Il Poggione in Montalcino is a historic producer that has churned out some of the best Sangiovese in the region for decades. In fact, as one of the original three producers of Brunello di Montalcino, they set the standard for increased quality.
They make nothing but fabulous wines. In fact, they made one of the best Brunellos I’ve tasted in the last twenty years, their 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Paganelli.
The estate is sprawling, 1,500 acres, though only 350 are planted to vines with the rest olive groves, sowable land and woodlands used for raising cattle and pigs. Apart from being one of the oldest vineyards in Montalcino, the majority of the vines are also planted above 1,300 ft. above sea level – which when paired with their proximity to the sea, provides the estate with a picture perfect climate for growing slowly maturing, perfectly ripe Sangiovese.

For a little taste of what this great estate is capable of – I can’t think of a better introduction than their baby Super Tuscan for under $20/btl. It’s an extremely easy-drinking wine sure to have several disappear in a hurry if you have a few friends over. And given the price, that’s just fine. It’s a juicy little blend of Sangiovese, Cab Sauv and Merlot that is both seamlessly balanced and very lively in the glass. It’s pretty much a no-brainer.
