93 points James Suckling
"Complex aromas of blackcurrants, walnuts, mushrooms and cigar box follow through to a full body with fine, chewy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Drinkable now, but better in 2021."
Vinous Reverie Notes
The Poggio al Tufo Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 comes from the Rompicollo vineyard in Pitigliano, a town near the Tuscan coast known for its volcanic soil which contains a high concentration of tufo, a particular type of volcanic rock. The wine is a deep ruby red and opens with complex aromas of blackberry jam, black pepper, licorice, vanilla, and balsamic herbs. The palate is enveloping and full-bodied, with velvety tannins integrated with a pleasant freshness.
