Tasting Notes

WA94

I was quite taken with Poggiopiano’s 2006 Rosso di Sera, (90% Sangiovese, 10% Colorino). This opaque, full-bodied red flows with masses of super-ripe dark fruit layered with scents of new leather, graphite and French oak. The wine possesses superb density and richness in a full-bodied, intense style. The tannins from the oak remain rather firm and unyielding at this stage, but in a few years’ time the 2006 Rosso di Sera should begin strutting its stuff. The long, polished finish is that of a first-class wine. This is a remarkable effort from Poggiopiano.

WS90

Very ripe and rich, with coffee, berry and raspberry pie aromas. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and lots of fruit. This is long and mouthpuckering, Very extracted. Slightly overdone. Needs some bottle to mellow. Sangiovese and Colorino. Best after 2010.
