"Christina Vaselli’s debut vintage of this Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot wine was exceptionally positive, but the 2001 Le Poggere is even better. A menacing ruby with purple and black highlights, its explosive, expansive bouquet of black currants, graphite, chocolate, and white pepper is matched by an equally impressive palate, warm, rich, deep, and enveloping, a superior density and concentration balanced by a sumptuous roundness."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
