Description

L'origine de ce vin remonte à 1996. Elisabetta, la propriétaire du domaine Fattoria le Pupille, a alors acheté le vignoble « Poggio Valente » près du village de Pereta, pour lancer un vin lui aussi basé sur le cépage autochtone Sangiovese, star absolue de ce millésime 2017. Le résultat est un des vins les mieux notés du domaine, comme l'attestent ses 94 points Parker.

L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

This is a pure expression of Sangiovese that punches above its weight with an almost Brunello-like intensity. The color and the tannic weight here is more prominent than in most Sangioveses, however, that unique coastal Tuscany character is always there with rosemary and Mediterranean shrub. Dark and fully concentrated, the 2017 Poggio Valente offers chalky notes followed by blackberry and black cherry. I love the harmony and the seamless nature of the bouquet. There is a note of sweetness on the close. This is a terrific, medium to full bodied Sangiovese. -Monica Larner.

Suckling:

Shows tension and focus for the vintage with plenty of ripe fruit and intensity.
