2010 is regarded as one of the best recent vintages for Brunello di Montalcino, and Il Poggione's 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is a remarkable expression of that fact. This is a beautiful wine and what great Sangiovese is all about. Rose petal, mint, cinnamon, sweet dark cherries, liquorice, and smoke all rise from the glass atop a structure of energy and power. For the money, there is not a single better wine being made in Montalcino than Il Poggione's Brunello.
