Tasting notes
The Fattoria le Pupille 2018 Poggio Valente has taken an interesting turn in its evolution with a rather robust or almost stern presentation. There is dark fruit and ripe blackberry, but the effect is more broad than it is deep. This is especially true in terms of the mouthfeel, where the wine feels a little more monotone in this moment in time.

100% Syrah. Current vintage. Five months skin contact. Fresh and saline and racy. Transparent, with great pace. Lovely now. Really impressive. (JR)
The 2018 Poggio Valente is a very pretty, open-knit wine. The aromatics are especially inviting. Sweet pipe tobacco, dried cherry, mint, anise, cinnamon and dried flowers lend notable presence to this decidedly mid-weight Poggio Valente. All the elements are so well balanced.
