Poggio Civetta Governo All’Uso 2021

The governo method involves partially drying a portion of the fruit for use in the winemaking process, adding extra richness and mouthfeel. This blend of 70% Sangiovese with 20% Merlot and 5% apiece of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah will conjure fresh cherry, cherry preserves, currants and spice. Pour it with pasta in a sun-dried-tomato marinara sauce.[Luca Maroni tasting note not available.] Score – 99. (lucamaroni.com, Feb. 7, 2025)
