Description

Antonio Galloni Vinous.com;

The estate’s 1997 Carbonaione is sweet, ripe and full-bodied, but with plenty of supporting structure underneath. Complex notes of tobacco, leather, sweet herbs and spices have developed in bottle, rounding out this is soft-textured, caressing Carbonaione. As is often the case with wines from warm vintages, provenance is especially critical. Impeccably stored bottles have as much as another decade of prime drinking ahead of them. 93/Anticipated maturity: 2008-2017

Poggio Scalette is a tiny, family-run property located in the hills of Greve right next to neighbors Querciabella. The estate is run by father and son team Vittorio and Jurij Fiore. Vittorio is most well-known as consulting oenologist for a number of top wineries, including Costanti and Il Carnasciale, while Jurij oversees day to day work at Poggio Scalette itself. The hillside vineyards are located at about 500 meters in altitude, which is ideal for making elegant, finessed wines that are capable of aging. Although some vineyards have been planted recently, the majority of the vines are about 70 years old. Space in the cellar is tight, to say the least. Winemaking facilities are as bare-bones and strictly functional as they come.

Poggio Scalette’s top wine is the 100% Sangiovese Il Carbonaione, a wine with a distinguished track record made all the more notable considering how gracefully the less important vintages have aged. I recently had a chance to sit down with Vittorio and Jurij Fiore to taste through an extensive selection of vintages going back to the inaugural 1992 and I came away very impressed. Readers lucky enough to have well-stored bottles from forgotten vintages such as 1992 and 1994 are in for a treat. Though not inexpensive, Il Carbonaione remains a very fairly-priced wine in today’s market considering the quality of what is in the bottle. Poggio Scalette also makes a small amount of Chianti Classico which is sold in bulk as well as a 100% Merlot, Piantonaia.
