The 2010 Poggio alla Badiola is a hugely delicious wine for the money. This Sangiovese/Merlot blend boasts gorgeous delineation in its fruit to match its harmonious personality. Crushed flowers, licorice and spices linger on the long, polished finish. Poggio all Badiola is 70% Sangiovese and 30% Merlot. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2014.
This is a solid set of new releases from the Mazzei family and long-time consulting oenologist Carlo Ferrini.
