About this Winery: 
One of the most highly regarded wineries in all of Tuscany, Tenuta Il Poggione makes incredibly powerful wines for collectors and everyday drinkers alike. It is also one of the original three producers of Brunello di Montalcino, and helped to establish the standards of excellence for Montalcino. Located in Sant' Angelo in Colle in the commune of Montalcino, Tenuta Il Poggione was established at the end of the 19th century by Lavinio Franceschi and is still owned today by the 5th generation of its founder, siblings Leopoldo and Livia Franceschi. Reviewer Antonio Galloni has said that: "For the money, there is not a single better wine being made in Montalcino than Il Poggione's Brunello." 

About this Wine: 
Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Paganelli is produced only in the best vintages and in limited quantities. This wine comes only from the grapes of the oldest vineyard of the "I Paganelli" company, planted in 1964. These vines, used as a reference clone for the planting of the new vineyards, produce a very high quality grape which is harvested by selecting one for one the best and ripest bunches. After the manual harvest, the must ferments at a controlled temperature. Subsequently the wine spends a long period in French oak barrels, followed by a refinement in the bottle.

Ratings & Reviews

95 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"A huge, dramatic wine, the 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva literally explodes from the glass. This is a decidedly exuberant, flashy wine loaded with dark fruit. Tobacco, smoke, tar and licorice all come alive in this big, broad-shouldered Riserva. Here, too, the wine’s balance is impeccable."
95 Points - Wine Enthusiast:
"Vigna Paganelli shows amazing results with a bright fruit quality that translates into black cherry and blackberry. At the back are sophisticated tones of leather, tobacco and light touches of spice that give the wine depth and elegance. The most interesting aspect, however, is the mouthfeel that shows firm but beautifully ripe tannins that will help the wine age... cellar selection."
95 Points - James Suckling:
"A powerful yet superbly refined Brunello with a full body and velvety tannins that are layered and silky textured. Lovely dried fruits and spices. Beautiful intensity. Super finish. Drink or hold."
92 Points - Wine Spectator:
"Rich and medium-weight, with cherry, berry, leather and spice notes converging on the long, juicy finish. Balanced in a sleek, compact manner, ending with fresh touches of mineral. Best from 2016 through 2032."
