The Il Poggione 2021 Rosso di Montalcino (with 200,000 bottles made) offers medium fruit weight with dark cherry, wild plum and savory spice. This is a terrific vintage with moderate summer temperatures and a long growing season that agrees very much with Sangiovese, a grape that takes its time to ripen and develop complexity. This Rosso also reveals an especially spicy character with nutmeg and cinnamon that seems to come from the skins of the grape as much as it may come from 12 months in oak.

Showing mint, resin and earth aromas and flavors wrapped around cherry and strawberry fruit, this is backed by firm, assertive tannins and moderate length. Drink now through 2025. 5,000 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Rosso di Montalcino Select to Add

The 2020 Rosso di Montalcino delivers soft fruit, a medium dark color and extra texture. These traits come from a hot vintage that produced ripe, sweet fruit. The wine ages in small oak botte in order to lock in that pretty primary fruit. Cherry, redcurrant and baked plum rise from the bouquet.

Fresh cherry and plum flavors grace this round red, whose earth, woodsy and mineral accents add depth. Balanced and taut, with very good length. Drink now through 2025. 16,000 cases made, 5,000 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Rosso di Montalcino Select to Add
