Score: ✧✧✧✭ |
The wine shows a brilliant golden yellow color and nuances of straw yellow,
very transparent. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and refined
aromas that start with hints of apple, pear and pineapple followed by
aromas of hawthorn, yeast, plum and vanilla. The mouth has good
correspondence to the nose, a crisp attack and pleasing roundness, however
balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent
with flavors of apple, plum and pear. Al Poggio ages for 8 months in
barrique.
