<br/>This is a wine I always love, although my sample is a bit closed at this early stage. The nose will build in intensity with just a few more months of bottle aging for sure. Summer peach, honey and saffron show on the bouquet of the 2016 Poggio Argentato. The mouthfeel offers low to medium density, but the wine actually shows more power than you may initially expect. The blend is 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 15% Traminer, 15% Petit Manseng and 10% Semillon.<br/>

This rich white leans more toward the orchard camp than the grassy, savory side, offering peach, apple and lemon flavors. There's a grassy accent on the finish. Traminer and Sauvignon Blanc. Drink now through 2021. 5,500 cases made.
Producer
Fattoria le Pupille
Fattoria Le Pupille is one of the most fascinating wineries in Italy. This southern Maremma estate was well-established before the recent rush of new arrivals to the region. While quality continues to skyrocket with renascences every few years of so, the 65-hectare vineyard produces complex, weighted and structured wines that will be difficult for newer producers to emulate. Their top wine is a single-vineyard Super-Tuscan blend of the Bordelais varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. The woman behind Le Pupille’s success and even Morellino di Scansano’s impressive reputation, is owner Elisabetta Geppetti. Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate even goes as far to say, “There is always a single face that identifies a region: A sole producer with the charisma and communicative talents required to perform the ambassadorial duties that bring a relatively obscure wine area to the world stage. For the Maremma, that person is Elisabetta Geppetti.”
