Poggiofoco Cecco 2009, Sovana, Tuscany, Italy


This was a gift from some Italians, and is not available in this country so far as I can see. A shame, as it’s lovely stuff - 95% Cabernet and 5% Sangiovese, though it tastes like more. It tastes Tuscan more than of the grape variety, with elegant tobacco-touched blackberry and blackcurrant fruit, chargrilled chicory, violet and menthol. Lovely sappy freshness and grip on the palate, with plenty of savour and length to balance the fruit. Great discovery!
