| Over het wijnhuis | Het wijnhuis Il Poggione is gesitueerd in een van de mooiste terroirs in de wereld, op de heuvels rond Montalcino. De geschiedenis van Il Poggione gaat terug naar het jaar 1890, wanneer Lavinio Franceschi, grondbezitter in Florence, besluit een wijnhuis op te richten in Montalcino. Hij gaat daar wijnen maken van de lokale Sangiovese-kloon Brunello en is daarmee een van de eerste wijnmakers die de wereldberoemde Brunello di Montalcino, zoals we die nu kennen, in de markt lanceert. |
| Wijngaard en regio | De druiven zijn afkomstig van de oudste wijngaarden van het wijnhuis in Montalcino. De gemiddelde leeftijd van de stokken ligt tussen de 25 en 40 jaar. De wijngaarden liggen op 150 tot 450 meter boven zeeniveau. De hoogteverschillen zorgen voor koelte, wat gunstig is voor de ontwikkeling van de zuurgraad. De druiven worden met de hand geplukt. |
| Vinificatie | Na de oogst volgt een schilweking van 15-20 dagen om kleur, smaak en tannines te onttrekken. Daarna worden de druiven op gecontroleerde temperatuur vergist in RVS. Na de vergisting rijpt de wijn 30-36 maanden in grote foeders van Frans eikenhout van 33 tot 52 hl. Daarna rijpt de wijn nog zo'n 12 maanden in de fles, voordat deze op de markt wordt gebracht. |
| Kleur | Robijnrood. |
| Geur | Kersen, pruimen, cederhout en leer. |
| Smaak | Krachtige, complexe wijn met een grote concentratie aan donker fruit, tonen van kruiden en chocolade. Fluweelzachte tannines en een lange afdronk. |
| Serveren bij | Heerlijk bij gegrilde steak of wildgerechten. Ook lekker bij gerijpte, oude kazen. |
| Serveertemperatuur | 18 °C |

| Awards | "The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino opens to a saturated and shiny dark ruby color. This edition is loaded with black and purple fruits, such as blackberry preserves and plum. Those more robust tones are followed by spice, tar and campfire ash. The tannins are young (but not stemmy or bitter), and you'd be best served by letting this wine age and relax with more cellar aging. Il Poggione always makes some of the smoothest and most texturally enriched wines in the appellation, and this vintage is no exception." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Blackberry, blueberry, stone and floral aromas. Hints of cedar, too. Full-bodied and chewy with polish and focus. Dried berries and hints of meat. This shows the ripeness of the grapes. Chewy at the end. Needs time to soften. Better after 2023." - James Suckling "Masses of ashen earth, smoke, dusty cherry and roses with nuances of clove lift up from the 2017 Brunello di Montalcino. This is silky and pliant upon entry, presenting a rich display of intense red and hints of black fruits laced with chalky minerals that drenches the palate. Penetrating acidity and grippy tannins create a burst of cheek-puckering tension, clenching down hard with youthful poise, as notes of licorice and hard red candies linger through the structured, medium-length finale. There are some moments where the 2017 reminds you that it comes from an incredibly hot and dry vintage, yet overall, it’s a huge success for the year. That said, it needs time to unwind from its youthful state. Production was down 15–20% at Il Poggione in 2017 due to severe selection of bunches, and all of the fruit that would have been reserved for the Riserva Vigna Paganelli was added to the Brunello instead." - Vinous "Lustrous deep ruby. Firm, deep cherry fruit on the nose and with an undertow of savoury spice. Lots of perfumed sour-cherry fruit on the palate and with bags of firm, but polished tannins on the finish. A bit austere right now, but with great length as well as potential. Drink 2024 – 2032" - Jancis Robinson "Il Poggione started harvesting Brunello grapes on 1 September based on desired sugar and acidity levels. To curtail unripe tannins, winemaker Fabrizio Bindocci removed a small percentage of seeds at the beginning of fermentation, particularly from the earliest picked plots. The resulting wine is a heady mix of allspice, leather and prune plums. There is ample concentration on the palate and a zesty citrus note lends freshness. It's grippy but overall balanced, with just a touch of astringency nudging through. I’d give this another year to come together. Drinking window: 2023-2028" - Decanter "Sweet, ripe cherry, blackberry and plum fruit flavors are framed by mineral, tobacco and thyme accents in this vibrant, balanced red. Make no mistake, there are ample tannins too, yet this still finds a nice equilibrium on the lingering finish. Best from 2024 through 2040." - Wine Spectator "Underbrush, camphor and new leather aromas get together with grilled herbs. Full-bodied and structured, it also shows restraint, featuring dried black cherry, licorice and tobacco alongside firm, fine-grained tannins." - Wine Enthusiast 95 punten - Falstaff over de 2016-vintage "Kersen, rokerig, vanille, open, fijn. Stevig en kruidig, goede tannine, elegant." - Perswijn over de 2016-vintage 2 rode glaasjes - Gambero Rosso over de 2015-vintage |
