Fattoria Poggio Capponi 2002 Vin Santo White (Colli Etruria Centrale)

  1. $20
There’s a lot going on in this little bottle: Resin and toasted pinenut appear over rich notes of maple syrup and dried fruit. Flavors of toasted wood add dimension and the wine closes with a soft and feminine touch of melted lavender honey.  — M.L.  (5/1/2007)

Fattoria Poggio Capponi 2004 Tinorso Red (Toscana)

  1. $30
This blend of Syrah and Merlot offers a trove of enticing aromas, including plum sauce, soya, spice, leather and ripe blueberries. Those blueberry tones continue in the mouth where the wine exhibits great freshness and intensity.  — M.L.  (4/1/2008)

Fattoria Poggio Capponi 2005 Sovente Chardonnay (Toscana)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $20
An interesting nose, if somewhat disjointed: Peach, melon, yellow fruit, graham cracker, eucalyptus, sweet flowers, nuts and mint snaps come though, layer after layer. Thanks to its crisp acidity, it would pair well with ravioli in a cream sauce and Parmigiano cheese.  — M.L.  (3/1/2008)

Fattoria Poggio Capponi 2004 Montespertoli Petriccio Sangiovese (Chianti)

  1. $20
Although the general ensemble works, this wine is a bit lean and thorny in places. Aromas include forest floor, white mushroom, wild flower and sour cherry. The mouthfeel is lean but does offer simple fruit flavors.  — M.L.  (11/1/2007)

Fattoria Poggio Capponi 2005 Red (Chianti)

  1. $10
Following in Chianti tradition, this is a Sangiovese, Canaiolo Nero, Trebbiano and Malvasia blend that offers nice ruby concentration, and youthful but pungent aromas of cherry and apple backed by cookie dough. It seems tight and a bit nervous on the palate.  — M.L.  (11/15/2007)
