Il Poggione, Rosso di Montalcino DOC (Tuscany, Italy) 2020

Jun 14, 2023

By Rich Cook

 I love wines that manage to reach past the expectation provided by the label demarcation / price combination to deliver something special.  This Rosso di Montalcino — a designation often thought to be fun, fruity and approachable — shows unusual depth and structure for its category.  I imagine some producers would be happy to call this mix of deep cherry fruit and garrigue their Brunello di Montalcino.  A solid value!
