TASTING NOTES

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.

Rosso di Montalcino holds a special place in the Tenuta Il Poggione portfolio as a “Young Brunello,” embodying the character and sophistication of its older sibling but with greater immediacy and accessibility. The 2022 vintage benefits from the region’s favorable climate, marked by warm days and cool nights, which contribute to the wine’s vibrant acidity and refined tannic profile.

Perfectly suited for pairing with a variety of dishes, from roasted meats to rich pasta sauces, this wine is an excellent choice for those seeking a premium Italian red that combines tradition with modern elegance. Its versatility and polished finish make it ideal for both casual gatherings and more formal occasions.

Spiced and earthy with ripe red and dark fruit and hints of walnuts and cocoa. Medium- to full-bodied and dry with firm tannins. Polished, velvety aftertaste.

Eric Guido:
“A dark, deep red, the 2022 Rosso di Montalcino smolders up with a blend of grilled herbs, dusty earth, incense and rose. It’s cool-toned and lifted in feel, with soft textures and ripe violet-laced red berry fruits. This finishes staining and long with a youthfully chewy sensation and framing tannins. Sweet lavender and cocoa notes gradually taper off.”
