Fattoria le Pupille Poggio Valente Riserva 2017

Discover this Poggio Valente Riserva 2017


Fattoria Le Pupille is one of the most fascinating wineries in Italy. This southern Maremma estate was well-established before the recent rush of new arrivals to the region. While quality continues to skyrocket with renascences every few years of so, the 65-hectare vineyard produces complex, weighted and structured wines that will be difficult for newer producers to emulate. Their top wine is a single-vineyard Super-Tuscan blend of the Bordelais varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. The woman behind Le Pupille’s success and even Morellino di Scansano’s impressive reputation, is owner Elisabetta Geppetti. Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate even goes as far to say, “There is always a single face that identifies a region: A sole producer with the charisma and communicative talents required to perform the ambassadorial duties that bring a relatively obscure wine area to the world stage. For the Maremma, that person is Elisabetta Geppetti.”

Critical Acclaim

Robert Parker Wine Advocate
This is a pure expression of Sangiovese that punches above its weight with an almost Brunello-like intensity. The color and the tannic weight here is more prominent than in most Sangioveses, however, that unique coastal Tuscany character is always there with rosemary and Mediterranean shrub. Dark and fully concentrated, the 2017 Poggio Valente offers chalky notes followed by blackberry and black cherry. I love the harmony and the seamless nature of the bouquet. There is a note of sweetness on the close. This is a terrific, medium to full bodied Sangiovese.
