This wine
is a blend of 85% Prugnolo Gentile (local clone of Sangiovese) with the
remaining 15% a blend of Colorino, Canaiolo and Merlot with alcohol coming in
at 14.5%.
This wine
pours a beautifully dark ruby in color and opened up with aromas of black cherry, dark plums, blackcurrants, forest
floor, sandalwood, tobacco and vanilla notes. On the mouthfeel, medium-full
bodied, great flavours, beautifully structured, harmonious with fresh acidity
and fined grained tannins. A great deal of finesse and elegance on the finish, with nice sweet and sour fruit
flavours and savoury spices lingering. I love the seductive fruit and savoury personality of this Poliziano
Vino Nobile and the great mouthfeel, well
handled use of barrel fermentation, should age quite nicely over the next three
to four years. Gorgeous wine, strongly
recommended, score 91 points,
