IL POGGIONE (PROPRIETÁ FRANCESCHI) BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO 2016

Tuscany.
12,000 ml

The Il Poggione 2016 Brunello di Montalcino opens to a medium dark appearance with pretty Sangiovese shine and a little ruby sparkle. This vintage shows a slightly untamed or wild side with a dense and heavier fruit profile. The focus here is on blackberry, dried cherry, tobacco and even a touch of smoky tobacco or horse saddle. The wine shows the firm grip and tannic backbone that is a common trait in this vintage, especially with the vineyards on this southern, sunlit side of the appellation. I also get a considerable flash of acidity on the close, almost too much, that certainly needs a few more years to soften. You really need to wait with this one. Production is an ample 200,000 bottles. November 2020 Drink to 2044 WA 95

1 balth.    per lot $2,200 - $2,500

Realised: $1,900
