| Description: | Tasting notes The 2016 Pppoli is ruby red in color. On the noseare intensely fruity notes of cherries and red currants with integrated hints of violets and a delicate touch of toasted oak. The palate is fresh and savory with supple tannins and shows a finish and aftertaste which recall the sensations first felt on the nose. Rating Ripe and fresh, this red evokes cherry, sandalwood,almond, tar, mineral and earth flavors. The tannins are dense, yet this is pure, with a long finish. Drink now through 2024. 6,500 cases imported. (Wine Spectator Review). Producer notes After a mild autumn and winter with little rainfall, the spring season in Chianti Classico began with warm and sunny weather which led to bud break occurring 10 days earlier than normal. These climatic conditions remained unchanged during April, but changed during May with precipitation and cooler temperatures which did not influence the important phases of flowering and bud set that followed. The summer was mainly warm and dry without peak temperatures that assisted in maintaining an excellent balance between vine development and the ripening of the grapes. The harvest months were characterized by average weather with occasional rainfall and lengthy periods of sunshine and an excellent breeziness. These conditions favored an optimal final ripening of the grapes. Technical notes After malolactic fermentation, the Sangiovese, Merlot and Syrah were blended and placed into large Slavonian oak casks. After nine months of aging in oak, the wine was bottled and aged before release. |
