Podere Poggio Scalette "Il Carbonaione" Alta Valle della Greve Toscana Rosso 2020

Wine Spectator : 93 Points

(12/31/2023) A lush, eloquent red, with smoke and charred oak flavors wrapped around a core of black cherry, blackberry, plum and iron. Polished, with a youthful grip of tannins on the long, spice- and smoke-laced aftertaste. Give this a few years in the cellar. Sangiovese. Best from 2026 through 2038. 2,100 cases made, 600 cases imported.

James Suckling : 94 Points

(9/11/2023) Exotic oriental spices, black pepper, black berries with hints of pine cones, porcini mushrooms and incense. Naturally concentrated on the palate with a full body rounded by plush, velvety tannins. Very long and mealy. Drink or hold.
