Description:

Il Poggione (Proprieta Franceschi) Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2001
Tuscany
"Il Poggione's 2001 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is likely to go down as one of the estate's modern day classics. Like the 1999, it too is made in a full-bodied style, but it offers greater elegance and finesse than its older sibling. There is superb purity to this wine, not to mention an eternal finish framed by silky, ripe tannins. A minimum of a few years of cellaring is called for to allow the French oak to integrate. The vintage saw a rainy winter followed by a freakish April frost which reduced yields in several vineyards. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2031." A. Galloni for R. Parker, 95 pts. 05/08
6 bottles (oc)
Estimate $350-550
