Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✧

Poggio ai Chiari shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of brick red, little transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of plum, black cherry and dried violet followed by aromas of blueberry, chocolate, leather, tar, vanilla, licorice, graphite, mace, flint, undergrowth, tobacco and menthol. The mouth has excellent correspondence to the nose, a properly tannic attack and however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, pleasing crispness. The finish is very persistent with long flavors of plum, black cherry and blueberry. Poggio ai Chiari ages for 36 months in barrique followed by at least 24 months of aging in bottle.
