Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino 2011 Brunello di Montalc Tuscany 750ml/Btl 6/case

Description

Monica Larner: The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino represents a smaller
harvest. Some 130,000 bottles were produced, which is 80,000
bottles less than average. In fact, Il Poggione made more Rosso di
Montalcino and IGT compared to their flagship Brunello. No Riserva
was produced in 2011. One of the reasons for the reduced production
was the very warm growing season that mandated severe fruit
selection. In my opinion, Il Poggione has done a fine job with the
fruit they dedicated to this wine. This is a wine of ripe
fruitiness and dark richness. There is a hint of reduction that
puts the proverbial breaks on the wine's intensity. Il Poggione is
happiest with the 2012 and 2015 vintages and less so with 2013.
