The 2006 Poggio Al Lupo is 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Alicante and 7% Petit Verdot from vineyards in Maremma aged in 100% new oak. It is a forward, juicy offering imbued with ripe red fruit, licorice, sweet toasted oak, smoke and minerals. Medium in body, the wine reveals good length and balance in an enticing style. This will be a very interesting wine to follow over the coming years. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2018.
