Poggio al Tufo Rompicollo Maremma Toscana 2020 750ml

Description

Expert Review – Vintage 2020

Wine Enthusiast 90 Points | The powerfully umami nose draws balance from a strawberry undertone and a dash of salt and pepper. That combination of earthiness, salt and strawberries continues on the palate, with an acidic fizziness adding some playfulness.

Winemaker Description

This Tuscan Super Value is a blend of 60% Sangiovese and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and comes from a single-vineyard site in the Alta Maremma called Rompicollo. The vineyard benefits from southern exposure, ample sunlight, and a soil rich in tufo, a particular type of volcanic rock.

A deep, bright ruby red in color, on the nose it offers an elegant, varied bouquet of ripe berry fruits (such as blackberries and raspberries), dried aromatic herbs and delicate sweet spices. On the palate it is full-bodied, mellow and mouth-filling, with velvety tannins. Though richly flavored, it displays an attractive suppleness in the mouth.
