2022 FATTORIA LE PUPILLE 'POGGIO VALENTE' ROSSO TOSCANA IGT, TUSCANY, ITALY

(95+ Points) "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....Elisabetta Geppetti of Fattoria le Pupille has knocked it out of the ballpark with this exciting group of new releases. These are some of the nicest interpretations of the 2022 vintage from the Tuscan Coast..." 02/25  Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate
