9.4

The 2020 Ilatraia is a potent red that is going to need at least a few years in bottle to soften. Swaths of tannin wrap around a core of black fruit, chocolate, new leather, licorice, incense and lavender. A wine of substance and power, Ilatraia is not as forthcoming as most wines from the Tuscan coast. I suspect the high percentage of Petit Verdot in the blend has a lot to do with that. This is a superb showing, especially for a vintage that yielded generally lighter wines on the coast. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, August 2023)

Poggio al Tufo Rompicollo Toscana Sangiovese Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Jamie Lauder

9.0

2018 vintage.
60 % Sangiovese and 40 % Cabernet Sauvignon from a single vineyard in Alta Maremma called Rompicollo near Pitigliano.
Rompicollo translates as “break neck” but means a tremendously steep, slippery slope.
Southern exposure with soil rich in Tufo, a volcanic rock. Fermented in stainless steel and aged 1 year in large Slavonian oak barrels.
Medium bodied with bright red fruit, dried thyme and rosemary on the nose.
Red plums, currants and smokey black fruit. Crisp and lively acidity with a clean, refreshing finish.
13 % ABV. — 3 months ago
