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 brand new 2021 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 beautiful and clean fruit that bring 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 2024.

The 2021 Rosato Primavery is pretty yet understated in the glass, displaying young peach, hints of nectarine and sweet smoke. This is soft and round with a pleasant inner sweetness contrasted by saline-minerals that give way to ripe orchard fruits. It leaves a slight buzzing of residual tension while tapering off with a rosy flourish. This is a varietal Sangiovese Roasto.

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.
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.
The sandy soil of north Piemonte is home to the appellation Roero and the indigenous variety, Arneis. Stefano Almondo is a master of the rare variety, crafting aromatic and mineral wines that rival any of the best white wines in Italy. The newly released 2021 Vigne Sparse dazzles right out of the bottle; floral and fruity with juicy peaches and apricots yet with a chalky mineral streak as well. As always, it’s such a complex white and the kicker is its finish which goes on for a minute of pure joy.
If you’re looking for one of my most sincere recommendations of the year, heed this: this is the Rose to have of all the ones I’ve tried so far. The newly released 2021 Effet Papillon Rose is off the charts. Made 100% from Grenache (as many of the best Southern French Roses are, this is salmon in color. It boasts aromas of bright red and stone fruits, orange rinds and a hint of lemon zest. It’s incredibly smooth and dry, making it a great food wine– but this Rose is serious with depth and complexity, making it worthy of enjoying on its own.
