Il Poggione 2006 Riserva Vigna Paganelli Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $95
This vineyard-designated riserva delivers perfumed notes of red rose, pressed flower and a bright, berry-driven bouquet. In the mouth, this is a plump, bold wine with thick concentration and loads of dark fruit such as blackberry and plum. The tannic firmness suggests at least 10 years of cellar aging. Overall, it is beautiful, elegant and bold.

Riserva Vigna Paganelli is an outstanding wine with bold chocolate and exotic spice aromas that are folded deep within the wine’s solid, succulent structure. This expression earns high marks thanks to the impressively rich and creamy feel it imparts in the mouth.

Il Poggione 1999 Riserva Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $80
Strong as a cement block, with aromas of charcoal, leather and intense plum/berry. Still, in the mouth it’s luscious. In addition, there’s a sublime spice element playing in the background that only makes it more complete. Finishes with the essence of fruit cake and marzipan. A pleasure. Imported by Paterno Wines International.

Il Poggione 2006 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $80
Thanks to 36 months of careful oak aging, this hearty Brunello opens with a dark, inky color, deep extraction and intense aromas of black cherry, chocolate, rum cake, cinnamon, mesquite and wet stone. Pair it with hand-made pasta and shaved black truffles.

Il Poggione 1999 Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $62
This excellent wine represents a model for straddling the line between the past and current styles of Brunello. The cherry and raspberry fruit gets a kick from oak-based notes of charcoal and vanilla. Hold for at least four years, if possible.

Il Poggione 1999 San Leopoldo Sangiovese (Toscana)
- Editors' Choice
- $41
This blend of 50% Sangiovese and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and Cab Franc is a fine example of the super Tuscan concept. It’s rich, deep and grapey, a sensationally ripe wine, loaded with tobacco, bacon and cassis. It’s lush, with only modestly full tannins, so it won’t require years in the cellar before it can be drunk. The finish is smooth and delightfully layered…

Il Poggione 1997 Riserva Sangiovese (Brunello di Montalcino)
- Cellar Selection
- $71
Loaded with pepper, hard spice and leather, but there’s also plenty of bursting red fruit to this traditional Brunello. With every minute it’s open the wine evolves: At first it’s sweet and forward, but with time it turns earthy and leathery, and ultimately it gets very tight and brooding. Full acids, hammer-like tannins and major-league structure say hold for a…
