2011 Poggio Scalette Il Carbonaione

 


Coming into its early drinking window.

Uniquely delicious blue fruit character reflects the pedigree of 80 year old vines planted to the Sangiovese di Lamole clone in a high altitude vineyard (450 meters elevation) in Greve.

Quite luscious up front with impeccably graceful tannins that caress the palate. This will only get better over time.

I love Il Carbonaione in any vintage. Paired nicely with filet mignon.
