Current Source Reviewer Rating Maturity (Release) Cost Wine Advocate Drink: Antonio $30 # 191 2010 - Galloni 91 (30) Oct 2010 2017

The 2007 Poggio Ciliegiolo flows from the glass with a rather dark expression of this under appreciated Tuscan . With time in the glass, the wine finds its center and the inner perfume begins to gradually emerge. The tannins remain elegant and polished from start to finish. There is a slight element of overripeness that comes through from time to time, but not to a great enough degree to detract from the wine’s terrific overall balance. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2017.
