The estate’s 2008 Poggio alle Gazze is Sauvignon that was partially fermented in barrel. It is easily one of the most elegant and refined whites to emerge from the Tuscan coast. An open-knit, inviting bouquet leads to fragrant peaches, mint and minerals as this caressing white opens up in the glass. Texturally beautiful and wonderfully expressive, the Poggio alle Gazze is a fabulous effort from Tenuta dell’Ornellaia. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2016.
