"An enticing whiff of oak spice and dried flowers blows off to reveal depths of pepper rose, raspberry sauce, sage and cocoa as the irresistible 2022 Poggio de Colli slowly blossoms in the glass. This is pure elegance, silky smooth yet lifted and spry, with a tactile mineral tinge perfectly complementing a polished wave of ripe red berry fruits as hints of blood orange embellish the close. It finishes long and staining, with a coating of sweet tannins and a spicy flourish as nuances of licorice and tart black cherries slowly fade. The warmth of the vintage comes through in the 2022's darker fruit profile; still, its balance is otherworldly."

"Ripe and pure, with red and dark fruit, walnuts, pine nuts, red spices and iodine on the nose. The palate is compact and concentrated, with a medium to full body, vivid acidity and broad, finely integrated tannins. Generous but fresh and very balanced. Drink or hold."

"The 2021 Poggio de Colli, 100% Cabernet Franc, is stunning. It's peppery and floral throughout, with masses of crushed strawberry and raspberry spiced up by tangerine zest. This impresses further with its wiry textures offset by tantalizing acidity. A core of tart wild berry fruit cascades across the palate, underscored by saline minerals and hints of citrus. Fine-grained tannins emerge through the finish as the 2021 tapers off spicy yet fresh, leaving the mouth watering despite its structure and intensity. This is a ripe vintage for Poggio de Colli, yet it is still a glorious Cabernet Franc that will pay dividends in the cellar."

"The Piaggia 2021 Cabernet Franc Poggio de'Colli is packaged in a heavy glass bottle and a white label. It shows tart primary fruit with lots of rich concentration and density to wrap over the palate. The bouquet is very expressive with dark fruit, cola, camphor ash and a hint of balsam herb. The wine has a fresh vein of acidity that breaks though the rather heavy and concentrated fruit. This is a pretty expression from an often-overlooked corner of Tuscany. 10,000 bottles were made."
