Producer Information: Tenuta Il Poggione
Tenuta Il Poggione is based in the Montalcino region of Tuscany, Italy, an area celebrated for its rolling hills and ideal microclimate for viticulture. The estate was established in the late 19th century by Lavinio Franceschi, who recognized the unique potential of the local terroir after visiting from Florence. Today, Tenuta Il Poggione remains family-owned and operates with a philosophy that balances tradition and innovation. They manage their vineyards sustainably, hand-harvesting grapes and employing both modern technology and time-honored winemaking techniques to ensure quality at every stage of production.
Beyond their flagship Brunello di Montalcino wines made primarily from Sangiovese Grosso grapes, Tenuta Il Poggione produces a diverse portfolio that includes Rosso di Montalcino and Toscana IGT wines. Their range also features varietals such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, which are crafted into structured Super Tuscan blends. In addition to red wines, they offer limited-production olive oil sourced from estate-grown olives. While their primary focus is on wine production rather than spirits or beer, their commitment to expressing the character of Tuscan land extends across all products in their portfolio.

Brunello is a prestigious red wine made exclusively from the Sangiovese Grosso grape variety, primarily produced in the Montalcino area of Tuscany, Italy. Known for its full-bodied character and complex flavor profile, Brunello typically exhibits notes of cherry, plum, dried fruit, leather, and tobacco, complemented by earthy undertones that enhance its depth.
This wine is characterized by its rich aromas of red berries and floral hints like violet, alongside spices such as cinnamon and herbal nuances from thyme. With a robust tannic structure and a smooth finish, Brunello pairs beautifully with grilled meats, rich pasta dishes like ragù, aged cheeses, and game dishes. Often reserved for special occasions or fine dining experiences, it benefits from extended aging in large oak barrels or smaller French barriques before release.
