Winemaker Notes
100% Sangiovese Grosso.
Visually the wine displays a gorgeous ruby/garnet red. On the nose a very intense lingering cherry fruit and spice aroma, with gorgeous velvety tannins and a long finish.

Wine Spectator
Really powerful for the vintage, with plenty of ripe fruit and cedary new wood, yet balanced and pretty. Full-bodied, with polished tannins and a long finish. Needs a year or two to come completely together. Best after 2011.

This pretty Brunello opens with a dark garnet color and segues to aromas of black cherry liqueur, blackberry, soy sauce, cola and dark spice. It’s a brooding, austere expression from Tuscany with polished tannins and silky texture.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Poggio il Castellare's 2005 Brunello di Montalcino is an attractive Brunello to drink over the next decade or so. Soft red fruit, spices, earthiness and herbs come together on a mid-weight frame. The intensity tapers off just a touch but on the finish, but the wine possesses lovely overall balance just the same. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020.

The considerable prestige
of the wines made in the Montalcino area
was well known way back in Etruscan times.
The Etruscans developed active settlements
on these hills.
The Poggio Il Castellare farm
is inspired by the archaeological finds of
an ancient village
-ruins of houses and towers-,
and the Baroncini family
has dedicated its name to the historical
roots of Brunello
and viticultural products of the surrounding area.
The landscape is that of the delightful Val d’Orcia,
from which, way up high,
it is possible to see the profile of Mount:
the farm’s vineyards
stretch across the sunny slopes, open
to the mystical view of
the centuries-old Abbey of Sant’Antimo.
And here, as though
around a heavily laden table,
the pleasure of tasting
is unique and exclusive…
