Toscana

The Poggio Valente vineyard, at 280 metres above sea level in Pereta, faces the Saffredi vineyard in the heart of Morellino di Scansano. It was acquired in 1996 and provides the fruit for its namesake wine, a 100% single-vineyard Sangiovese (originally incorporating some Merlot until 2012). Aromatic and intense, its ripe red and black cherry scents are balanced by earthy savouriness, with balsamic freshness, plenty of salinity and fine, grippy tannins allied to flavours of ripe cherry and wild strawberry. It finishes long and balsamic with some oak spice, showing a sense of elegance from the estate's highest vineyard despite this wine's 15% of alcohol. 40,000 bottles produced.
