2020 Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino – Reviews
95 Points – Vinous
Explosive and vibrant, the 2020 opens with punchy cranberry and cherry fruit before evolving into layers of dusty sage, spiced blood orange, and Tuscan earth. It’s pure elegance—texturally deep and nearly velvety, with tart wild berries, fine-grained tannins, and a balsamic touch toward the finish. Seamless from start to finish, this vintage is more approachable than usual yet perfectly structured for long-term aging.
94 Points – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
This vintage shows enhanced approachability with dark fruit aromas, blackcurrant, exotic spice, pressed rose, and herbal tea notes. Silky tannins and a smooth, open-knit structure make this Brunello nearly ready to enjoy, while still offering elegant complexity. Crafted from vines over 25 years old and aged three years in large oak botti.
94 Points – James Suckling
Bright red cherries, licorice, graphite, and toasted nuances lead on the nose. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with refreshing acidity and firm, chewy tannins. A restrained, yet structured style that will reward cellaring.
94 Points – Jeb Dunnuck
Deep and saturated in color, this vintage delivers aromas of baked cherries, cedar, dark cocoa, rosemary, and warm spices. It’s full-bodied with plush tannins, lively acidity, and a savory, mouthwatering finish framed by iron-rich earth. A generous and beautifully balanced Brunello to enjoy over the next decade and beyond.
