Year after year the ‘Il Carbonaione’ is a fantastic offering from Poggio Scalette and the 2011 is no exception. This 100% Sangiovese from rare clonal examples of the famous “Sangiovese di Lamole” opens with gorgeous aromas of blackberry, black plums, spices, moist earth and floral. It has a full body with a gorgeous silky round texture that is well structured and balanced with underlying acidity that provides momentum into the long finish. As always, the ‘Il Carbonaione’ is a fabulous, age worthy wine that delivers. (Best 2017-2029) - August, 2014 (JD)
