Tommasi
Poggio al Tufo Alicante
Maremma Toscana, Grosseto, Tuscany, Italy
Different. Interesting acidity on the aftertaste. Probably wouldn't go out of my way to get it again.

Poggio al Tufo is a relatively new estate in the once swampy Maremma in coastal Tuscany. Tommasi, of Amarone fame planted vineyards here in 1997. The Alicante Bouschet grape is new to Tuscany, although getting more popular. This wine is a deep purple in the glass , delivering pepper, black fruits and smoke to the palate. Tannins are still a little harsh so this will benefit from another year or two in the bottle. Interesting wine from this interesting grape.
