Expert Reviews - Vintage 2022
James Suckling 92 Points | Spiced and earthy with ripe red and dark fruit and hints of walnuts and cocoa. Medium- to full-bodied and dry with firm tannins. Polished, velvety aftertaste. (2022).
Jeb Dunnuck 90 Points | A deep red/magenta color, the 2022 Rosso Di Montalcino sees a portion of barrique for its aging and is ripe with aromas of black cherries, violets, and sweet herbs. Medium to full-bodied, it’s plush on the palate, with ripe tannins and a clean, iron-rich, mineral finish. Warming and generous, it’s a lovely Rosso that could give insight to what readers into what to expect for the style, which is not always the case in this region at the moment. Drink 2024-2030. (2022).
Memo Summary Notes
The Il Poggione Rosso di Montalcino 2022 is widely regarded as one of the best "value" entries into the world of Montalcino. While Brunello is the famous older sibling, this Rosso offers a more accessible, fruit-forward expression of 100% Sangiovese that can be enjoyed right now.
The Essence of The Poggione
The Poggione Rosso di Montalcino 2022 is more than just a wine; it's a representation of Italian heritage. Produced in Tuscany, this elegant red wine showcases the rich terroir of the region.

"A nicely spicy Rosso di Montalcino with cloves, dried flowers, sour cherries and orange peel on the nose. Creamy and medium- to full-bodied, with chalky tannin's and a ripe, chocolaty finish. Drink or hold."
James Suckling - 92 pointss
"Dark fruited and flush with sweet floral perfume, the 2021 Rosso Di Montalcino is ripe with boysenberry, black raspberry, pine sap, and balsamic. A bit of varnish on the opening may need some time to settle down. It has a silky and satin-like texture, with black cherry cola, mocha, and purple flowers, and the wine is medium to full-bodied, open, and inviting. Drink 2023-2038."
Jeb Dunnuck - 90 points
"The Il Poggione 2021 Rosso di Montalcino (with 200,000 bottles made) offers medium fruit weight with dark cherry, wild plum and savory spice. This is a terrific vintage with moderate summer temperatures and a long growing season that agrees very much with Sangiovese, a grape that takes its time to ripen and develop complexity. This Rosso also reveals an especially spicy character with nutmeg and cinnamon that seems to come from the skins of the grape as much as it may come from 12 months in oak."
The Wine Advocate - 90 points
"A juicy red, with leather and underbrush accents framing smoky cherry, plum and mineral flavors. Well-structured and long, with a solid grip of tannins on the lingering aftertaste. Offers fine intensity."
