The Vigna Paganelli Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2007 from Tenuta Il Poggione is a benchmark expression of traditional Brunello winemaking. Crafted exclusively from Sangiovese Grosso grapes harvested from the estate's oldest vineyard, planted in 1964, this Riserva is produced only in exceptional vintages.
The 2007 vintage stands out for its early ripening and excellent conditions throughout the growing season, resulting in a wine of remarkable depth and elegance. Long aging in large oak casks and bottle refinement brings out a rich bouquet of dried cherry, leather, tobacco, and earthy undertones, with just a touch of spice and balsamic complexity.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, yet still incredibly graceful, showcasing the harmony that only comes with age and careful vinification. Firm, polished tannins support flavors of ripe red fruit, cedar, and sweet herbs, finishing with impressive length and finesse.
Now drinking beautifully, the 2007 Vigna Paganelli Riserva is ideal for those who appreciate mature Brunello at its peak, and it’s a perfect match for roasted meats, aged cheeses, or contemplative sipping on its own.
