Bright ruby red. The bouquet reveals notes of red roses, black cherry, blood orange and blackberry. Juniper berries, dried flowers, Tuscan cigar and undergrowth follow. Full-bodied and intense with silky and dense tannins. Persistent finish with hints of black currant.
James Suckling: 95 Points
This is very dense and structured with stone and blackberry character. Full-bodied and intense with chewy tannins that frame the wine. Flavorful finish. Smoky and lightly bitter, in a good way. Pure sangiovese. This needs time to soften.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
The Fattoria le Pupille 2019 Poggio Valente fires on all cylinders with gorgeous fullness, darkly concentrated fruit and lots of pretty intensity. The wine is redolent of dark cherry and blackberry, and these fruit tones are folded into subtle hints of spice and toast. Ripe fruit flavors tie into the deep and texture of the mouthfeel. The vintage is a steal.
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2019 Poggio Valente is gorgeous. Bright and vibrant in the glass with terrific energy, the Poggio Valente is a fine example of the style favored here these days. Dark red/ purplish fruit, rose petal, spice and orange zest complement a core of Sangiovese fruit. I especially like the vibrancy here. The 2019 is absolutely delicious. That's all there is to it.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
A red with intensity on a weightless frame, leaving plenty of room for cherry, blackberry, chocolate, nutmeg and white pepper flavors to shine. The tannins are present, yet uplifting rather than obtrusive. Sangiovese.
Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points
Vanilla, chocolate and cherry set a sweet tone to the nose of this Sangiovese, before opening up to a woodsiness of herbs and soil. The palate maintains the chocolate-cherry notes, with some strawberry, herbs and wet rock. Polished, approachable tannins align with peppy acid in a strong finish.
