Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Magnum 1.5L 2016

Il Poggione, one of the largest producers of Brunello, consistently produces some of the best wines of the vintage year after year. Their 2016 Brunello di Montalcino is no exception and is a stunning example of their high-quality wine. The Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Magnum 1.5L 2016 is a deep and complex wine with flavours of mineral-encased black cherries, sage, allspice, licorice, tobacco, and crushed violets that fill the glass. This wine has a silky smooth texture and a palate that is peppered with tart red and black berries, nervous acids, and savoury exotic spices.

What makes this wine even more special is that it is a magnum bottle, which is twice the size of a standard bottle of wine, at 1.5 litres. This larger bottle size has many benefits, including slower aging, which allows for a more gradual and even development of the wine. Additionally, magnums have a better wine-to-air ratio than standard bottles, which helps maintain the wine's freshness and complexity. Magnums also make a statement and add a touch of luxury to any occasion.

Overall, the Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino DOCG Magnum 1.5L 2016 is a classic wine in the making that showcases the density and weight of the vintage in a youthfully monolithic stance. The finish is dark, mysterious, and structured, with only hints of black tea and licorice to tempt the imagination. This wine is a must-try for any wine enthusiast looking for a high-quality and luxurious experience.
