Sourced from old vines rooted in the rocky, high-elevation soils of Ruffoli in Greve, this wine marries concentration with striking purity of fruit. The warm 2017 vintage delivers richness and depth while maintaining the estate’s signature balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe nose is intense and expressive, revealing aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and wild berry layered with violet, sweet tobacco, and hints of cedar and spice. Subtle balsamic and earthy nuances add complexity. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and structured, with dense yet polished tannins and vibrant acidity that provide lift. Dark red fruit flavors are complemented by savory spice and mineral tones, leading to a long, resonant finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eWhile immediately impressive with decanting, the 2017 Il Carbonaione possesses the backbone to age gracefully, gaining nuance and harmony over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrape:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e 100% Sangiovese\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Tuscany, Italy (Ruffoli, Greve in Chianti)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eStyle:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Concentrated, polished, age-worthy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePairing:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Grilled steak, roast lamb, pasta with wild boar ragù, aged Pecorino\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCellaring:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e Drink from 2024 with decanting; peak potential through 2040+\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eA bold yet refined Super Tuscan that showcases the depth and character of high-elevation Sangiovese at its finest.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Premium Wine Direct","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48932964598000,"sku":"POGGIO SCALETTE CARBONAIONE 17","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/2236\/1328\/files\/80325_3.webp?v=1772800197","url":"https:\/\/premiumwinedirect.com\/products\/poggio-scalette-il-carbonaione-2018","provider":"Premium Wine Direct ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
