Boisterous, textured and full of sweet fruit, the Fattoria le Pupille 2015 Poggio Valente is fleshy and soft throughout. This was a warm and sunny vintage that produced picture-perfect fruit by harvest time. This wine is fleshy and bold, but I prefer the 2013 in comparison, thanks to the linear elegance of that vintage. This 2015, however, ends with fun hints of sweet fruit and green spice that contrast each other nicely.

Dark, spicy fruits are accompanied by juicy cherry, menthol, mint and dried herbs in this 2015, with a lovely balance between ripe, grainy tannins and good acidity.

The 2015 Poggio Valente is 100% Sangiovese aged in 500 and 600-liter barrels. Powerful and ample on the palate, the 2015 delivers serious flavor intensity as well as character. Super-ripe dark cherry, plum, leather, smoke and spice build in a wine endowed with notable richness. It will be interesting to see where this wine goes in the future, especially in years that provide the natural materials to make wines with a bit better balance and harmony. All that said, the 2015 is terrific.
