The 2008 Poggio Argentato (Traminer, Sauvignon) is dominated by aggressive Sauvignon aromatics that come close to overpowering the wine in this vintage. Medium in body, the wine reveals pretty notes of tomato leaf, minerals and white peaches in a mid-weight style. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2011.
This is another strong set of wines from proprietor Elisabetta Geppetti, capped off by a marvelous 2006 Saffredi.
