    Tenuta Il Poggione is located on the south-west side of the Montalcino hill, in Sant'Angelo in Colle – one of the most historically significant areas of the appellation. Lavinio Franceschi laid the foundations here at the end of the 19th century as a founding member of the Brunello consortium and one of the first to market this wine under its current name. Today, his descendants Leopoldo and Livia cultivate 140 hectares of vines, with vines up to 60 years old and a cellar philosophy of classic rigour: natural yeasts, large French oak barrels, time.

    100% Sangiovese from the estate's oldest parcels. 15 to 20 days of maceration in steel, BSA in steel, then 36 months in 30 to 50 hectolitre French oak barrels. A wine that is never optimised for accessibility – but for decades. Alongside 2019, the 2021 vintage is one of the most important Montalcinos in years. An April frost reduced the yields by around 15 per cent. What remained was concentrated and precise. A warm summer with two saving rains at the end of August, an ideal September with cool nights – phenolic ripeness, lively acidity, structural tension. The grapes needed their time and they got it.

    Dark, dense ruby red in the glass. The nose opens slowly and with dignity: black plum, blackberry, nutmeg, cinnamon, dry herbs, a veil of dark cherry that only fully unfolds after long decanting. Full-bodied and dense on the palate, with a tannin of phenolic precision – fine-grained, tense, not yet ready. The Sangiovese acidity is exceptionally lively. The finish is long, mineral, deep. Great potential! SUPERIORE.DE
