Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino '16

Of all wines produced in Montalcino, Brunello is legendary for its rich complexity. Il Poggione was one of the original wineries to produce this iconic wine, in the late 1800s, and is still managed by the Franceshi family. The 2016 vintage received 95 points and up from just about every known critic, a special feat, for even the finest winemakers. Hand harvested Sangiovese grapes from 60+ yr vines are fermented with indigenous yeast, then aged in bottle for years before release.
