Winemaker Notes
Deep and luminous ruby. Complex and intense aroma with notes of cherry, pomegranate, myrtle, fine spices, and undergrowth. Compact and elegant on the palate with firm and refined tannins. Persistent finish with hints of licorice.

This is really crunchy and juicy, with plums, sliced peaches and some fresh basil and lemongrass. It’s full and layered with terra cotta notes and open-grained tannins. Takes off on the palate.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Here is another knock-out bottle in this group of new releases from Fattoria le Pupille. The 2022 Poggio Valente is punchy and bright with terrific clarity of fruit. Winemaking has shifted over the years to prioritize larger oak botte. This change has allowed for more varietal expression with blue flower, heritage rose, tart cherry, rye bread and crushed stone. The wine's flavor signature is wholly Mediterranean with hints of rosemary and lavender. The effect is especially luminous and lifted in 2022. This is an elegant wine with a unique voice.

Cherry, strawberry, floral,wild herb and iron flavors mark this sleek, firmly structured red. Lean yet builds to the long, detailed finish of fruity, savory and spicy notes.
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
