The wine is a deep ruby red and opens with complex aromas of blackberry jam, black pepper, licorice, vanilla, and balsamic herbs. The palate is enveloping and full-bodied, with velvety tannins integrated with a pleasant freshness.
The Poggio al Tufo Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the Rompicollo vineyard in Pitigliano, a town near the Tuscan coast known for its volcanic soil which contains a high concentration of tufo, a particular type of volcanic rock.
Wine Enthusiast Review:
The nose leads with fruit aromas that are simultaneously astringent and warm, like blackberries glistening in the sun, before spicier notes of cloves and cinnamon gradually emerge. That composed yet compelling balance between fruit and spice continues on the palate, while acid rips through a sticky spiderweb of tannins. -D.C.
