Il Poggione Toscana Rosso 2016
Tuscany, ItalyIl Poggione leads with its Brunellos, often favourably priced, well made, and age-worthy, but the Rosso is a different animal. The style is softer and rounder, and the blend is a mix of sangiovese, merlot, and cabernet sauvignon, that latter two filling in the lighter spots. The nose is slightly reductive under screwcap (some tweaking at bottling could be required), but you can swirl it off or decant the wine for 15 minutes. The attack is fruity with rich, cinnamon-spiced red and black fruit with earthy, forest floor. Ready to drink. Classic pairings includes pasta, chicken, pizza, and cheese. Just mix and match with your favourites.Tasted: 11 October 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $32.89 | 750ml | private wine shops |
