Podere Paganico

Podere Paganico produces Sangiovese-based wines from Rosso di Montalcino in Tuscany's storied wine country. The winery's core range spans three expressions of the region's signature grape: Rosso di Montalcino, the approachable entry point; Brunello di Montalcino, the structured mid-tier offering; and Brunello di Montalcino Riserva, the flagship that demands cellaring. Sangiovese in this corner of central Italy yields wines of dark fruit and mineral tension, built for aging. The Riserva, aged longer in oak and bottle before release, shows the grape's capacity for complexity and refinement. Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Decanter, Wine Spectator, and Falstaff have all assessed the winery's output, with the Riserva averaging 92.6 points and the standard Brunello 90.8. These are serious expressions of Montalcino's terroir—wines that reward patience and proper cellaring.
