2009 Brunello di Montalcino, Il Poggione, Tuscany, Italy Size:75cl Drink with roast chicken andIl Poggione is a winery steeped in history with its origins dating back to the late 1800s. Owned by Leopoldo and Livia Franceschi , it is situated below the beautiful hilltop town of SantAngelo in Colle, a part of the Brunello di Montalcino appellation characterised by a temperate, yet well ventilated micro climate. This benefits the grapes by maintaining refreshing acidity levels and extending their ripening time. Father and son winemaking team
