Poggio al Vento 2019

Aromas of mixed spice, sprigs of herbs, black currant and juicy black plum abound on the nose of this medium weight, nicely balanced Toscano Rosso at a desirable price-quality balance tipped well in your favour. It has persistent purity of fruit captured on the palate and persisting to and through the tang and pizzazz, flavourful finish and aftertaste. Well-paced and well-priced, give this a go with lasagna or spaghetti carbonara with ham or bacon. [Drink by 2026.] Score – 91. (Vic Harradine, winecurrent.com, Dec. 23, 2022)
