The 2010 Poggio Querciolo (85% Syrah with Cabernet Sauvignon, all aged 12 months in barrique) is another massive red wine. Dark fruit layers of blackberry jam and dried prune are woven together with vibrant nuances of exotic spice and pipe tobacco. It shows smooth softness with loads of mocha and dark chocolate on the finish. You could open it now or wait longer. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020. Fattoria Casa di Terra is an under-the-radar estate (with 24 hectares of vine) that should gain new visibility now that its state-of-the-art winery has been completed. In fact, proprietors Giuliano and Gessica Frollani are ready to inaugurate the new structure with fruit from the 2013 vintage. Importer: Superior Wine Selections; www.superiorwineselections.com
