Podere Poggio Scalette 2007 Il Carbonaione Sangiovese (Toscana)
- Online Exclusive
- $65
Made by celebrated winemaker Vittorio Fiore, this gorgeous Sangiovese-based wine shows the lavish intensity and creamy consistency of Tuscany’s world famous reds. Ripe fruit, cherry and exotic spice would pair with steak, lamb or oven-roasted pasta.

Podere Poggio Scalette 2003 Il Carbonaione Sangiovese (Toscana)
- Cellar Selection
- $60
Enologist Vittorio Fiore has crafted a very distinctive wine with a vibrant ruby color, nice concentration and full-force aromas of blueberry, chocolate and smoked bacon. But what won me over was an elegant and precise point of white mineral or chalk that appears on the nose. It ages for 44 months and is succulent and chewy with firm tannins. Drink after 2008.

Podere Poggio Scalette 2004 Il Carbonaione Sangiovese (Toscana)
- $60
Thick, dark concentration sets the tone, but elegance and harmony are achieved thanks to delicate mineral and balsam notes that add buoyancy and personality. This is a wine that speaks volumes about its Tuscan territory and you can almost taste that sun-drenched, chalky minerality sucked up through the vines’ roots.
