More information on wine critics and ratings

This wine, produced in limited quantity, is the result of a special selection made by Leopoldo Franceschi, owner of Tenuta Il Poggione, from the winery's Rosso di Montalcino barrels.

Rosso di Montalcino Leopoldo Franceschi ages in large barrels and barriques for 12 months, before being aged in the bottle.

Wine of undisputed class and elegance, it has a deep ruby red colour, with aromas of red and dark berries, underwood and sweet spices. It is rich and complex on the palate, but elegant at the same time, with velvety tannins and a very persistant finish.

James Suckling (JS) : 92 Points (2016)
There’s plenty of nutmeg and dried-herb character in addition to redcurrants and Chinese spices. Medium body, lovely and grippy tannins and a tight finish. So well-crafted.

Wine Spectator (WS) : 91 Points (2016)
Pure, fruity and elegant, featuring cherry, plum, currant and iron aromas and flavors. Well-structured, yet balanced, with a lingering, fresh aftertaste of fruit, iron and leather notes. Drink now through 2024. 16,666 cases made.

Robert Parker (RP) : 88 Points (2016)
Feb 2018 - The 2016 Rosso di Montalcino is packed tight with bold cherry fruit and blueberry. The wine's color is dark, almost purple, and the aromas are vinous and raw. The bouquet here offers a very direct and immediate quality of fruit, and you can absolutely taste the skins, pulp and seeds of the grape. That taste profile brings you straight inside the Sangiovese berry. All that tonic freshness and fruitiness just calls out for a steaming plate of fettuccine with wild porcini mushrooms piled high on top.

Chateau Ste Michelle Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Columbia Valley Cabernet was crafted to highlight concentrated Washington red fruit in an accessible style. This is an inviting Cab with plenty of complexity and structure with silky tannins. It’s also very versatile with food.

A unique wine from pre-phylloxera, 100 year old Nerello Mascalese, whose yields are minute and produce less than half a bottle of wine per vine.  The result is an extraordinary…
