| Parker/Galloni: The 2008 Poggio Valente is without question one of the successes of the vintage. Dark cherries, leather, licorice and tobacco are some of the notes that take shape in the glass as this cool, vibrant wine reveals its impeccable, refined personality. This mid-weight Poggio Valente reflects the cool nature of the year in a beautifully balanced, harmonious style. The 2008 Poggio Valente is 97% Sangiovese and 3% Merlot that spent 15 months in French oak barrels, 40% new and 60% 2 year-old. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020.
Elisabetta Geppetti makes some of the most delicious wines in the Tuscan Maremma. Readers who want to learn more about the estate should check out my recently published article on www.erobertparker.com covering verticals of the estate’s twin flagships Poggio Valente and Saffredi. |
