A pure expression of Cabernet Franc (aged in barrique for 18 months), the 2014 Poggio de' Colli shows fine texture and bold intensity. The bouquet is beautifully polished and integrated with black fruit, spice, leather, smoke and balsam herb. This wine stands apart for the very nuanced and fine personality it shows in the mouth. It covers the palate with silky intensity but it delivers power and momentum at the same time. This is a terrific wine in an underrated vintage.
