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 winery made famous by Brad Pitt and Angelina is more famous in the wine world for their fleet of top Provencal Roses made by none other than superstar winemaker Marc Perrin, who has countless times turned the wine world on its head with his 100-point Chateauneuf du Papes at Chateau de Beaucastel. His 2022 Miraval Rose has a great salmon color with juicy notes of macerated cherries, strawberry currants, citrus and a lemon zest. It flashes that refreshing minerality that has become a Provence signature but crafted at 1100 ft above sea level, its crispness and vibrancy is unparalleled.
At 350 feet above sea level, growing seasons are often extended with warm days and cool, breezy nights. The diurnal changes of temperature help create healthy vines and grapes that are packed full of complexity, concentration and energy. Ain’t a whole of Provence wineries that can compare. We’ve offered Val de Caire’s spectacular Provence Rouge before, but their bread and butter wine, the Coteaux d’Aix en-Provence Rose has finally been imported into the U.S. for the first time. People are gonna go nuts for this wine.
Recently Wolffer Estate has expanded their famous Rose line to now include a Cotes de Provence Rose. For my money, it’s hands down a better bottling – an energetic and super fresh pink wine created from the French staple Rose grapes of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah as opposed to the Long Island version that has a whole lot of varietals mixed in. It’s bright and balanced and the perfect treat for the pool or beach as the weather warms.
The Tonelli family are royalty in this region, with four generations of grape growers leading the way and even establishing the local D.O.C. The family’s 2022 Ponente is 100% Sangiovese and is an absolutely incredible wine for the price. Comfortably less than $20/bottle for fleshed out, high-toned, zipped up Sangiovese? Count me in. It screams for pizza or summer salads, squash or a charcuterie plate. It’s about to be one of your new favorites if it’s not already from last vintage.
