How to serve it
Tasting notes
Intense ruby red with garnet reflections. An elegant nose of red fruit, leather, tobacco, sweet spices and balsamic hints. The palate is full and balanced, with dense but polished tannins, bright acidity and remarkable persistence, ending on a long, seductive finish of dried cherry and spice. Decant for at least an hour.
About this wine
Vigna Paganelli is the oldest vineyard of Tenuta Il Poggione in Montalcino, planted in 1964. The Franceschi family reserves it for their Riserva, which is made only in the best vintages from hand-selected, fully ripe Sangiovese bunches.
The grapes ferment in stainless steel at 25–28 °C with the submerged-cap technique, after which the wine spends a long period in French oak casks followed by further ageing in bottle before release.
The 2015 vintage was one of the great recent years in Montalcino, and this Riserva shows it: a powerful yet elegant Brunello with 15% alcohol and the structure to evolve for decades.
