Poggio Al Sole is consistently one of the most prestigious, well-regarded wineries in Chianti and all of Tuscany. Their wines, which are now both certified organic and vegan offer incredibly sophisticated notes and are known for being wildly aromatic.
The 2019 Primavera is a Rosato that has far more going on than meets the eye. Yes, it offers a beautiful pink hue, but this is more of a food wine than most any Rose out there. It offers intense aromas coming from the beautiful Sangiovese grown on the estate. It’s savory but has good fruit, weight and balance to it. Perfect with salmon, chicken or any appetizer you can throw at it. It’s delicious right now but will also be great up until 2022.

90 Points, Vinous
The bouquet is more savory than sweet, leading off with notes of dried peaches with crushed stone minerals, then giving way to a twang of peppery botanicals. Silky, soft textures flood the senses with cool-toned orchard fruits and sweet, subtle spices, as the 2019 Poggio al Sole Primavera flows effortlessly across the senses. The finish leans more toward exotic florals and cleans up very nicely, as residual acids slowly taper off on this perfectly balanced Sangiovese Rosato. Very Nice.
96 Points, James Suckling – 95 Points, Vinous – 95 Points, Ian D’Agata
Vinous’ Italian wine expert called it, “very well done” and called out its “massive but refined presence” en route to a rave 95-point review. Suckling echoed that with his own 96-point review and called it, “chewy, yet refined and balanced.” It’s definitely a full-bodied blend, but still manages to be light on its feet. Of course this is also still an infant, only flashing little of its true potential at this point. In another few years, there won’t be any bottles in the cellar drinking better.
90 Points, Wine Spectator
The latest gem I had from ‘The Dolcetto King’ was the delicious Dogliani Dolcetto he made at Luigi Einaudi in 2020. It’s so bright and delicious; you are absolutely going to love it. It’s a benchmark winery in the region but with Caviola’s help, over the last decade the wines have moved from just excellent to truly sublime. The Wine Advocate called the estate “a reference point producer for top-notch Dolcetto from Dogliani.” and they aren’t wrong.
Poggio Al Sole’s high elevation vineyards bring out the Burgundy-side of Chianti Classico, producing lush wines with just a touch of earthy rusticity and great length. Their 2019 edition is sleek and elegant, with great aromatic complexity and length. The nose is really special, with soaring aromatics of black cherry, anise and peony. Give it time to unwind in the glass. It’s fresh and long on the palate, with the fine tannic structure that defines ever classic vintage, making it great at the table tonight and any night for the next decade.
The newly released 2021 Clos Julien Rose is super lively and aromatic. It opens up to notes of high-toned red berry and flowers just fly from the glass and pick up a slight savory accent as the wine opens up. Juicy and fresh on the palate, offering wild strawberry and citrus rind flavors that deepen and spread out on the back half. A long, focused and bone-dry finish showcase amazing energy for what is sure to be a new happy hour go-to and Tuesday night Hall of Famer.
