2012 Brunello di Montalcino 'Vigna Paganelli' Riserva, Il Poggione

2012 Brunello di Montalcino 'Vigna Paganelli' Riserva, Il Poggione

Il Poggione are prized for their classic, very fairly priced Brunellos, and from a 5* vintage this is beautiful. Lifted citrus fruit and darker notes swirl from the glass, and there’s a real sense of energy and power. Brilliantly done.

Tasting notes

Rather sweet due to the super ripe vintage. But there's also great subtlety, enormous depth and a ton of tannin behind the opulence. The super long finish is incredibly focused. Try to wait until at least 2020. This stunning Brunello has decades of life ahead of it.
