The 2019 Polvento is nearly impossible to pull away from, as a bouquet of cinnamon-dusted black cherries, cedar spice box and dark, dark chocolate keeps me at the edge of the glass. It's seamlessly silky and elegant throughout, washing polished ripe red berries across the palate with ease while leaving a staining of minerals and fine-grain tannins in their wake. Hints of mocha mix with a twang of sour citrus and wild herbs, as this finishes classically structured and incredibly long. The 2019 is a glorious vintage for Polvento, a varietal Sangiovese from Umbria that can easily compete across all of central Italy. Drinking window: 2024-2031. Score - 94+.
