Tasting notes
The Fattoria le Pupille 2019 Poggio Valente fires on all cylinders with gorgeous fullness, darkly concentrated fruit and lots of pretty intensity. The wine is redolent of dark cherry and blackberry, and these fruit tones are folded into subtle hints of spice and toast. Ripe fruit flavors tie into the deep and texture of the mouthfeel. The vintage is a steal.

100% Syrah. 30% whole bunch. Five months skin contact. Picked third week of September . Very deep crimson. Bit of VA evident? Famous vintage and very polished tannins, though lots of tannin on the end. Not yet ready. Liquorice notes. (JR)
The 2019 Poggio Valente is gorgeous. Bright and vibrant in the glass with terrific energy, the Poggio Valente is a fine example of the style favored here these days. Dark red/purplish fruit, rose petal, spice and orange zest complement a core of Sangiovese fruit. I especially like the vibrancy here. The 2019 is absolutely delicious. That's all there is to it.
