Piccolomini "Poggio della Fonte" 2004
(Photo@TheFoodTraveller.com - Nikon D200)
We are always alert for good decently price wine to use as table wine ... we discovered this one in a restaurant where they served it. Should be easy to find in Italy and if you like Tuscanian wine, this is for me the quintessential table wine from that region.
Piccolomini "Poggio della Fonte" 2004
Country: Italy
Grapes: Sangiovese, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon.
Winery: link
Price: 7 euros
Impressions: Nose of flower, red fruit and ... could it be roses ?! The taste is medium dense and follows very closely the nose. There is also some vanilla flavoring coming from the ageing in barrels. Good aftertaste, not very long but good. All round a balanced wine with low tannins and controlled fruit.
Verdict: Here it is, our new table wine! Well, yet another one. We like it as it is a tasty all-round wine.
Would I buy it? Yes. Good and fairly priced.
