Second review; November 2023
A savoury wine it offers cherries and clay, smoked meat and charred spices, red and black wild berries and salted licorice aromas.The palate is an echo of the nose; toast leather, bacon fat and very faint mixed wild berry flavours. It's quite muscular and brooding but also fresh.

Satisfying, fragrant, fleshy.
Poggio al Tufo has been owned by the Tommasi family since 1997; Tommasi owns estates in Valpolicella, Montalcio, Lombardy, Basilicata and Puglia. Rompicollo is made from Cabernet and Sangiovese.
Always a seriously delicious wine, the 2018 (with its new label!) delivers red cherry and plus, candied roses and rapberry aromas layered with pipe tobacco, chocolate, leather and cigar notes. It's a fresh and fleshy wine, earthy and spiced with juicy red fruit and spice flavours. Lengthy, satisfying and delicious, a beauty of a red.
Pairs great with Gone Crackers Parmesan & Rosemary
