Fattoria le Pupille Poggio Valente Rosso Toscana IGT 2023

Since 1996, "Poggio Valente? has been one of Le Pupille's most important Sangiovese vineyards. Situated at an altitude of around 350 metres near Pereta, the plot benefits from constant air circulation and sandy-clay soils containing limestone and sandstone. The 2023 vintage is produced exclusively from Sangiovese and is aged for 15 months in French oak, progressively in larger vessels. On the nose, it reveals notes of cherry, pomegranate, myrtle and mint, alongside pipe tobacco, dried herbs, liquorice, mocha and cocoa. On the palate, the wine is compact yet fresh, with fine, supple tannins and distinct fruit. The long finish leaves lingering notes of liquorice, herbs and an earthy spiciness. A precise, profound Sangiovese with good ageing potential, awarded 95 points by Wine Advocate.
