Brunello Riserva Vigna Paganelli 2005, Il Poggione

What a wine! Il Poggione’s top Brunello is massively complex and concentrated, with nuances of white chocolate, truffle, forest floor, toasted grain, cedar and malt extract. The texture is big, chewy and mouth-filling, and the sustain of flavour is breathtaking. Only made in vintages where conditions allow, this is a bigger, richer, deeper and more powerful version of the Il Poggione Brunello, itself an impressive wine, and rewards even longer cellaring. A wine to drink with a big, juicy Bistecca alla Fiorentina.
