Jeb Dunnuck: "This beauty boasts a medium ruby color as well as a fabulous bouquet of spiced red cherries, balsamic, incense, and licorice. It's medium to full-bodied, layered, ripe, and seamless on the palate, with nicely concealed oak and rock-solid underlying density and ripe tannins." 

Il Poggione is situated in the southern portion of the Montalcino zone, which generally receives the beneficent impact of a more full-fledged and generous Mediterranean climate as well as sandier soils, less wind, and lower altitudes than estates positioned in the northern zones. While the wines issuing from the south generally display a dense, fruity, low-acid character, microclimates do account for significant distinctions among the estates. Such is the case with Il Poggione, whose vineyards lie at a range of 150 to 450 meters above sea level. Thus, the estate’s wines tend to go against type—the regional proclivity— achieving a rare equilibrium between structure and balance.
