Winery Review: Poggio Alla Pietra is produced from high intensity sangiovese grosso grapes. The vineyard site enjoys volcanic rocky soil, southern exposure and gentle afternoon breezes. Poggio Alla Pietra is aged in French Oak barrels for a period of twenty months and exhibits great fruit, elegance and depth of flavor.
My Review: So my friend actually had this wine sitting opened in his house for two weeks and he had never gotten around to finishing it, so he offered it to me. He had said that when he had it after first opening it, he had really liked it, so I decided to give it a try. The nose of the wine smelled like straight up expo dry erase markers. I'm not sure what I was expecting after that nose, but the wine tasted kind of funky and I'm not sure if it was safe to drink. But I'm alive so I guess it was okay! There were no tannins so I'm sure the taste had mellowed out and it was kind of sweet but at the same time funky.
