Il Poggione Rosso di Montalcino 2022 is a refined expression of Tuscany’s renowned Sangiovese grape, offering a vibrant and approachable alternative to the estate’s prestigious Brunello. Crafted entirely from younger vineyards within the Tenuta Il Poggione estate, this wine captures the essence of Montalcino’s unique terroir with elegance and depth.

This vintage showcases a meticulous aging process in both large casks and barriques, a technique that softens the naturally firm tannins of young Sangiovese while enhancing aromatic complexity. The result is a beautifully structured wine with layered notes of ripe cherry, subtle spice, and hints of earthy undertones, delivering a balanced palate that is both expressive and inviting.
