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.

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.

“The 2016 Poggio al Granchio Brunello di Montalcino is aromatically expressive of perfectly ripe cherry, sweet herbs, dried flowers, and stony earth. There is generous purity of fruit on the palate, with mineral-rich earth, and it had the most balanced and harmonious structure in the lineup on this tasting, with present but fine-grained tannin. I love this wine for its darker mineral edge in counterpoint with crunchy and ripe fruit. It is a super-pleasurable wine right out of the gate and will continue to be so over the next 20 or more years”

San Giorgio Ugolforte is the sister winery of Poggio di Sotto. Their 2017 presents a dark core of red and black berry fruit layered with earth, leather, smoke, and herbs. It’s a complex and elegant expression, that presents a full mouthfeel that is firm in tannin structure. The refreshing acidity frames a graceful finish. Just a classic Brunello di Montalcino.
‘Tre Bicchieri Winner’, 2023 Gambero Rosso Awards
A Tre Bicchieri award is almost always an indicator of ridiculously high quality but this wine does not disappoint. Let me start by saying that it is not an exaggeration to say that the nose is one of the most expressive I’ve ever experienced in a white Italian wine. A bevy of fruits are present on the nose – apple, pear, as well as peaches which I expect will become even more pronounced over time. On the palate – a touch of honey kisses a core of apple, peach pit, lemon all riding a ripple of saline minerality. Drink now through 2033.

The 2019 is a must have for any fans of cellar-worthy Italian red wines. It’s a structured Chianti Riserva, with a ton of character. The nose is intense with notes of leather surrounding a core of bright red fruits. The flavors are intense and the finish is long with lingering Bing Cherry notes that absolutely sing. Obviously, since we’ve got the first crack at it, not all the ratings are in and it probably wouldn’t matter anyway as these will not stick around for long.
