Bursting from the heartland of Italian wine, the 2019 Fattoria Le Pupille Poggio Valente is a Tuscan treasure that stands tall with a well-deserved score of 95. This wine exudes a radiant ruby-red hue, and a swirl of the glass reveals an exquisite bouquet of ripe cherries, sun-dried tomatoes, and a hint of balsamic. On the palate, it’s a harmonious blend of dark fruit flavors, supple tannins, and a touch of spice, all culminating in a lingering, elegant finish. This wine’s depth and complexity make it a perfect companion for a hearty osso buco or a robust cheese platter. While it’s already a standout at its retail price, at just under $40, it delivers well beyond its peers, making it a truly great value find.
