2011 Morellino di Scansano Riserva Poggio Valente

The Fattoria le Pupille 2011 Morellino di Scansano Riserva Poggio Valente shows impressive balance for a wine from a hot vintage that was considered one of the precursors to the climate changes that have arguably accelerated in the years since. What you get here is a wine of delicate balance and elegance with slightly dried cherry flavors followed by dark mineral and earth. What stands out in the 2011 is the wine's lasting freshness.
