WineScores' Review

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.
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.

Pairs great with Gone Crackers Parmesan & Rosemary

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.
