  Poggiotondo the Blend Toscana IGT 2004

  Snoothrank:

  Earthy nose with licorice and plum. Very dark, almost inky color. Earthy on the palate, not much fruit. Decent tannins. Seems to have a spell on the mid palate where you almost don't taste anything. Not a spectacular wine but I've had worse.....much, much worse. Even so, I say pass. Read More

  Poggiotondo Rosso Toscana 2010

  Snoothrank:

  Lots of sandalwood and a little cedar greet the nose followed by floral notes and small black fruits. This seems quite sweet from the wood, though it does show some nice talc notes balancing out the vanilla. Fairly rich on entry, this has good acidity and nice ripe tannins in the mouth, though the back end here seems a bit weighty and extracted.... Read More

  Chianti Cerro del Masso Poggiotondo 2009

  Snoothrank:

  Tightly floral on the nose with notes of violet and spice accenting a fruit-driven nose layered over wood spice. The oak shows a bit more nuttiness and oak with air. Smooth and fruity in the mouth in a fairly opulent style. This has nice acidity, helping to keep things lively, but has a certain sheen to it with wood tannins emerging on the short... Read More

  Chianti Cerro del Masso Poggiotondo 2009

  Snoothrank:

  Smoked meats, herbaceousness, and a hint of barnyard on the nose. Plump, soft cherry on the palate with a slight zing of acidity on the finish; very sippable! Read More

  Poggiotondo Rosso Toscana 2010

  Snoothrank:

  A more full-bodied style with rich, tart fruit and underlying layers of bitter espresso. The blend definitely adds some heft to the Sangiovese. Read More

  Poggiotondo Chianti Toscana 2006

  Snoothrank:

  Nose: cherries, capsicum, plum, spice - quite sweet on the nose. Palate: cherries, plums, smoky, chewy tannins. Reasonably long, drying finish. Great with pasta. Read More

  Poggiotondo the Blend Toscana Rosso IGT 2007

  Snoothrank:

  This Sangiovese Cuvée offers a brilliant price-quality relation. Suitable for every occasion and a good party wine due to little acids and "little" alcohol (12,5 vol. %). I was told it was also J.Oliver's "15" Tablewine - somebody can confirm?Cheers Pippo Read More

  Chianti is something I've been meaning to try for some time. I took a Chianti to a friend's house a few days ago when I went for dinner, but was a little disappointed. I know there are some not-so-good ones out there, but not certain if I hit one of these or just a disappointing bottle. The wine I tried was the Sensi Chianti Riserva 2003. Smell ... Read More

  Poggiotondo the Blend Toscana IGT 2004

  Snoothrank:

  Decent, though unremarkable wine. A touch of berry and dry tannins but nothing to write home about. For the price, it's a good "end of the night" wine. Read More
