Il Poggione Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2019

Ripe strawberry and cherry with complementing notes of mint leaf, crushed stone, and sweet white smoke form a remarkably pretty bouquet in Il Poggione’s 2019 Brancato Rosato. It floods the palate with silky textures, coasting across the senses with ripe red fruits, cooling minerals, and acids, as sweet inner florals develop, contrasted by a savoury umami note. The finish is long and soothing to the senses, as its textural richness slowly tapers off. Wow, there is so much to like here, showing both sweet and savoury, full of energy, and amazing value.
