IL Poggione Rosso Di Montalcino 2009, Tuscany - 750 ml
|
|
* Whole number only
|
Younger, more accessible
version of Brunello, but already very well-developed with a strong character,
Rosso di Montalcino is a very important wine for Tenuta Il Poggione. Produced
entirely from Sangiovese grapes, hand harvested from the youngest of the
estate’s vineyards, Rosso di Montalcino is matured for 12 months in large
barrels before undergoing a period of bottle aging.
Aging in wood, though not obligatory for the production of Rosso di Montalcino,
tones down the tannins typical of a young Sangiovese and gives this red wine
the complex aroma and body that make it a great “young Brunello”. Winemaker’s
notes: Intense ruby red colour. Fruity bouquet with red berry notes. Very
well structured, mellow, long-lasting flavour with smooth, velvety tannins.
