The 2007 Poggio Scalette Il Carbonaione brings a ton of beautiful fresh crushed blackberries and black currant but there is also gorgeous floral and spice, it even picks up hints of a sweet raisin character as well. This is so dense, focused and layered with a muscular core driving the fruit into the huge finish. The Sangiovese di Lamole comes from the sandy, rich in loam, rocky soils in the Il Carbonaione vineyard. This is just a phenomenal wine that will age gracefully in the cellar.
