Podere Poggio Scalette, Tuscany, Il Carbonaione, Alta Valle della Greve 2003 (1.5L) EVENT SERVICE most of the wine maturedInto neck The combination of a very hot summer, wine consultant Vittiorio Fiore and old vines produced a very good if atypical Il Carbonaione in 2003. The colour as always is deep and the bouquet offers red currant and cherry underpinned with a touch of oak. The palate is both opulent and seductive. There is almost a certain reserve about the palate which is testament to the winemaker. Well balanced with a touch of acidity and a delicious mid palate
