2020 Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino – Reviews
95 Points – Vinous
Explosive and vibrant, the 2020 opens with punchy cranberry and cherry fruit before evolving into layers of dusty sage, spiced blood orange, and Tuscan earth. It’s pure elegance—texturally deep and nearly velvety, with tart wild berries, fine-grained tannins, and a balsamic touch toward the finish. Seamless from start to finish, this vintage is more approachable than usual yet perfectly structured for long-term aging.
94 Points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
This vintage shows enhanced approachability with dark fruit aromas, blackcurrant, exotic spice, pressed rose, and herbal tea notes. Silky tannins and a smooth, open-knit structure make this Brunello nearly ready to enjoy, while still offering elegant complexity. Crafted from vines over 25 years old and aged three years in large oak botti.
94 Points – James Suckling
Bright red cherries, licorice, graphite, and toasted nuances lead on the nose. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with refreshing acidity and firm, chewy tannins. A restrained, yet structured style that will reward cellaring.
94 Points – Jeb Dunnuck
Deep and saturated in color, this vintage delivers aromas of baked cherries, cedar, dark cocoa, rosemary, and warm spices. It’s full-bodied with plush tannins, lively acidity, and a savory, mouthwatering finish framed by iron-rich earth. A generous and beautifully balanced Brunello to enjoy over the next decade and beyond.
Boccaccio Cellars offers real time shipping rates at checkout. These are heavily subsidised rates directly from Australia Post and will vary depending on your postcode.
Unfortunately, due to the ever increasing costs of postage we are unable to offer free shipping any longer. Postal increases have seen the average box of wine range from $30-$60, which can represent up to 500% of the cost of the average bottle of wine.
Your postal costs are calculated on the following factors:
- Where in Australia you are shipping to (Where rural postcodes obviously attract a higher charge)
- What in Australia you are shipping (Beer and water for example, are calculated in real time without any additional subsidy. This is because the margins for these products are minimal). Dry goods attract a discounted flat fee of $12 per carton (Calculated by gross weight).
Pickups on all items are encouraged.
