Craig Sandler brought this gorgeous bottle of Sangiovese Grosso (the sole varietal in Brunello). Il Poggione Riserva is dense and heavy with black fruit on the palate. Its fine tannins are palapable but not out of synch with the balance or character. This wine is a monster and will continue to improve with age. $70; 91+ points

thanks you Steven for the tasting note. Maybe one day I will have the opportunity to taste your family wine as well! Grazie! Ale
