Just read the review below...gift it, drink it or store it.  No matter what you do with it and your a fan of Brunello...Happy times!!!

An immensely serious and complete Brunello from one of the biggest names in the region. The Poggione is a classic expression of Sangiovese from Montalcino — beautiful richness brings nothing clunky, just the deep unfolding of a lush and layered complexity in red fruit, salty/savoury and floral nuances, along with fine structure. A classic that in more and more limited supply...

"Il Poggione never ceases to amaze with its blend of consistency, dependability, remarkable quality and complexity from vintage to vintage. The dark depths of rubbed sage, brown spice, chestnut and spiced blood orange give way to nuances of dried black cherry as the youthfully brooding 2021 Brunello di Montalcino slowly evolves in the glass. It is lifted in feel, soft textured and round, with pretty red berry fruits and cooling acidity as a vivid, gravelly mineral saturation penetrates the senses. This leaves an invigorating citrus twang to offset its fine-grained tannins as hints of spice linger through the long and surprisingly fresh finish. Bury this unbridled beast in the cellar." 95+/100 Eric Guido, Vinous (2021 Vintage)

"Il Poggione’s 140 hectares of vineyards rise from 120m to 430m above sea level. Vines with a minimum 25 years of age are singled out for the Brunello. Violet, dog rose, new leather and dark spice aromas form the classic varietal nose on the Il Poggione 2021 Brunello. Full-bodied and enveloping, the palate features ripe Marasca cherry, crushed raspberry, licorice and blood orange accompanied by taut, close-grained tannins that grip the finish while fresh acidity lends energy. So comforting in its recognisable and munificent style, it begs to be enjoyed on a chilly night by the fire." 95/100 Kerin O’Keefe, Leading Italian Wine Critic (2021 Vintage)
