Brooding and balsamic the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Paganelli is a dark stallion of a wine with a bouquet to meditate to wafting up exotic spices flint incense dried roses black cherries and hints of ashen stone. It's racy yet complex and sensual with silken textures and masses of mineral-inflected red berry fruits all guided by a core of zesty acidity as a tinge of sour citrus adds tension throughout. Pleasantly chewy yet still mouthwatering the 2019 leaves a web of fine tannins along with a hint of orange zest and cloves to linger on and on and on. This is drop-dead gorgeous. - By Eric Guido on November 2023 Il Poggione never ceases to amaze with its blend of consistency dependability remarkable quality and complexity from vintage to vintage. The 2020 is no different. Alessandro Bindocci described 2020 as a very warm season but not as dry as recent years with an extended cooldown ahead of harvest that helped retain freshness in the finished wine. Harvest began on September 20 and lasted through the October 20 which is impressive by recent standards. It goes without saying that they achieved remarkable balance from this warm year. The 2020 is a more immediate style?bright and punchy. Still considering that the typical Il Poggione Brunello takes 10 to 15 years even to begin to enter its window of maturity I welcome this edition. As for the 2019 Riserva Vigna Paganelli it?s a perfect example of a Riserva that delivers all of the added depth and regal structure that is often missing from this category. Bury this beautiful beast in a deep dark corner of your cellar?it?s money in the bank.

A mix of fruity and savory this red offers a distinctive ray of graphite along with cherry strawberry juniper tomato leaf earth and sanguine flavors. There's good grip on the finish but the tannins are softer and broader more chalky than piercing. Shows fine balance and length needing a little more time to knit together. Best from 2028 through 2046. 3300 cases made 1500 cases imported. Published on March 26 2025
