Poggiotondo, Toscana Rosso IGT (Tuscany, Italy) 2010

Aug 7, 2012

By Gerald D. Boyd

 his blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Syrah was tank fermented and aged for eight months in tank, then held in bottle for two months prior to release.  The absence of oak allows the attractive raspberry and plum fruit flavors to shine.  It has a deep ruby color, forward fruity aroma, deep dark fruit flavors, firm tannins, 12.5% alcohol and a hint of earthy-mushroom in the finish.  This is a pleasant wine at an attractive price.
