Poggio a' Frati is 15-hectare vineyard that surrounds an old friary at the top of the hill. With an average altitude of 500 metres, it boasts significant temperature differences between day and night - a benefit in the torrid 2017 vintage. Woodsy and balsamic in character, this exudes rosemary, winter mint and anise. The palate is compact with black currants meeting a wall of tannins. These are ripe but unyielding at the moment. Sturdy rather than elegant. Give this a bit of time.
