The grapes are picked by hand, fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in large French oak casks before further ageing in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack cherry, ripe plum and dark berries are layered with dried herbs, warm spice and a hint of blood orange. The palate is rich and velvety, with freshness lifting the fruit and firm, fine-grained tannins giving it shape. A lingering mineral and savoury finish adds another dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a Brunello worth putting away, allowing its fruit, tannins and savoury complexity to come together over time. If opening a bottle young, give it a generous decant and serve with bistecca, slow-cooked beef ragù or aged pecorino.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Region: Montalcino, Tuscany, Italy\u003cbr\u003e- Appellation: Brunello di Montalcino DOCG\u003cbr\u003e- Vintage: 2021\u003cbr\u003e- Variety: 100% Sangiovese\u003cbr\u003e- Alcohol: 14.5%\u003cbr\u003e- Bottle size: 750 mL\u003cbr\u003e- Cellaring: Wine Spectator recommends 2030–2048\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Il Poggione","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41065336307912,"sku":"","price":139.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/3790\/4328\/products\/il_poggione_16_4a209238-0b98-4761-8131-3d2d08f34a4e.png?v=1633239190","url":"https:\/\/www.boccaccio.com.au\/products\/il-poggione-brunello-di-montalcino","provider":" Boccaccio Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
