Poggio al Tesoro ‘Sondraia’ 2012 Review

A chiseled, structured wine with a romantic edge, this wine is all about contrast. It has the signature elements of a Bordeaux blend - ripe and tart black cherry, sharp yet powdery herbs, soft clay earth – but the flavors and structure blend together beautifully, creating a texture that is reminiscent of soft, luxurious velvet.
