Puntodivista is a single-vineyard located in the village of Lamole, Greve in Chianti. Here, the vineyards are some of the highest elevation in all of Chianti Classico. Puntodivista is 600m above sea-level and planted to old-vine Sangiovese and “some other local varieties”. 2015 was Jurij’s first vintage working with the fruit from this vineyard and he hit an absolute piss-missile on the first pitch.
Poured into a decanter about an hour before service. In the glass, the 2015 Puntodivista presents a deep ruby with a near opaque core. Medium viscosity with no perceptible staining of the tears and some faint signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing and OMG, ever so Italian!! So yeah, it’s got some VA and it’s absolutely gorgeous with notes of dark cherries, blood orange zest, flower shop, some barnyard, tobacco, pu-erh tea, dried Italian herbs, and wet rocks. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The texture is silky and fit. The finish is long and has a ferrous-cherry sort of thing going for it. This is stunning. I can’t get over the nose. The aromatics are off the chart. So lovely right now but this certainly has a long life ahead. The production of Puntodivista is minuscule with 500-600 bottles made depending on the vintage but holy smokes, the nose is worth the effort to seek out alone. Drink now and through 2035+. — 9 months ago
2012, Not the best vintage for Poggio Scalette, but the master's skills of Jurij Fiore and Vittorio made proof once again of Being brilliant eonologist and amongst thé best in the world — 10 years ago
