Il Poggione is one of Montalcino’s largest but most respected estates, with a reputation for producing some of the most reliable, best-value and age-worthy Brunello di Montalcino.
The property’s history stretches back to the 19th century, owned by the Franceschi family for five generations, and one of the region’s early pioneers. It is, however, a series of talented winemakers that have made the property’s name and made it a benchmark for Brunello di Montalcino: first with Pierluigi Talenti, who was in charge from 1958 to 1999, then Fabrizio Bindocci and today Fabrizio’s son Alessandro.
