| Description: | Founded near the end of the nineteenth century, Il Poggione's modern age began in 1958, when Leopoldo Franceschi, grandfather of the current owner, engaged renowned winemaker Pierluigi Talenti as the estate's winemaker. Pierluigi made the most of Il Poggione's considerable natural gifts for 40 years, shaping the estate's muscular, graceful, and aromatic house style as he trained Fabrizio, who assumed control of the estate in 1999. Nestled in the southern Brunello subzone in the hills around Sant'Angelo in Colle, Il Poggione's 1,482 acres (302 planted to vine) possess some astonishing terroir. Today's Il Poggione grows its grapes with non-interventionist methods, and it crafts its wines in its state-of-the-art cantina using traditional methods, including aging its wines in large oak vats in its underground cellar. One of the great authentic Brunello makers, Il Poggione's wines consistently over-perform both in the cellar and on the table. |
