Poggio al Tesoro "W" Dedicato a Walter 2009 (750 ml)

The 2009 Dedicato a Walter shows the potential of Cabernet Franc in Maremma. Bright flowers, roses, mocha, red fruit and exotic spices are all woven together in this beautifully layered, expressive wine. A warm, resonant finish with tons of Cabernet Franc character leaves a lasting impression. I very much like the richness and weight here. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024.

Winery Notes:

This is the winery’s most important wine, produced with 100% Cabernet Franc, and dedicated by Marilisa and Franco to their late brother Walter. Its richness is evident at first sight, confirmed on the nose by perfectly interwoven, profound aromas of black-berried fruit, pepper and balsamic hints of eucalyptus. The palate astonishes for its ability to sustain this imposing structure with a light tautness, making it both powerful and agile.
