While our hearts belong first and foremost to Napa Valley wines, we believe that true enthusiasts should occasionally venture beyond. We recently found a Tuscan treasure from Il Poggione that truly captured our hearts. With its vibrant ruby color and smooth, balanced flavor, each sip offers a mini escape to the picturesque landscapes of Tuscany.
“This wine shows a dense center of gravity that is padded with dark cherry, blackberry, toasted spice, mahogany smoked meat and tilled earth. Despite the robust aromas, this Sangiovese is actually quite streamlined and polished in texture.” - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"This is a flavorful, layered Brunello with aromas of fresh and sour cherries, plums, bay leaves, rosemary and olives. Cloves and licorice, too. It’s medium- to full-bodied with firm, fine-grained tannins. Sleek and well-integrated, with a lengthy and deliciously savory finish.” - James Suckling
"The dense structure sets the pace for this red, with cherry, raspberry, mint and tar flavors that are appealing and expressive. Reveals rose hip, orange peel and earth details as this winds down on the long, expansive aftertaste. Built for the long term." - Wine Spectator
