Botromagno’s 2011 Gravina Poggio al Bosco is quite a bit richer and deeper than the regular bottling, but the flavor profile remains essentially the same, which is to say plenty of citrus, white flowers and minerals. A plush, creamy finish round things out in style. The 2011 is 60% Greco and 40% Malvasia, aged in stainless steel. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2016. Botromagno is another estate that is enjoying a resurgence in quality. Alberto Antonini oversees winemaking. A Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620

The 2010 Gravina Poggio al Bosco is a single-vineyard selection of 60% Greco and 40% Malvasia. The Poggio al Bosco spends a few months on its lees, which gives the wine much of its textural richness. It is a gorgeous, plush white with layers of expressive fruit that caress the palate all the way through to the volptuous, polished finish. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014. Quality at Botromagno has increased and become more consistent across the board since consulting oenologist Alberto Antonini arrived two years ago.
