The 2007 SolAlto offers up apricot jam, cinnamon, dried rose petals and orange peel in an upfront, juicy style best enjoyed with light cheeses or fruit-based desserts. In 2007 Sol Alto seems to have a touch more roundness than is often the case. The balance and poise here are both tops. Enjoy this mid-weight dessert wine over the next few years. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2015. Elisabetta Geppetti is doing just about everything right at Le Pupille. A massive tasting of 30 wines going back to 1987 found a number of older vintages in great shape and a signficiant rise in quality starting around 2000 that continues to the present. I will report on that tasting on www.erobertparker.com. In the meantime, readers will find much pleasure in these new releases. The only wine I didn't care for was the entry-level red Pelofino, which in 2008 and 2009 doesn't approach the level of quality readers have come to expect from Le Pupille.Importer: Selected Estates of Europe, Mamaroneck, NY; tel.
