Reviewed August 2022This is a beautiful cabernet franc with brightness and purity, showing blackberries and hints of fresh herbs and sandalwood. Medium to full body. Firm, silky tannins and a creamy finish. Drinkable now, but even better in 2024.

A darker blackish/red color, the 2020 Cabernet Franc Poggioraso is forward with aromas of tarry earth, black licorice, and blackberries. Full-bodied without feeling heavy, it has firm tannins and a gravelly texture with a savory mineral finish. It demands to be served alongside grilled meats, and although I wouldn’t expect its tannins to soften much, it should age gracefully over the coming 5-6 years. (AF)
Notes
Poggioraso gives Cabernet Franc a distinct place in southern Tuscany. The 2020 is bottled as Toscana Cabernet Franc IGT by Poggio Argentiera, an estate founded in 1997 with the purchase of Podere Adua near Alberese. Its setting is the Maremma, between the Tyrrhenian Sea and Monte Amiata. The estate expanded in 2001 into the hills around Baccinello, in the commune of Scansano. Its vineyards occupy contrasting ground: the coastal holdings near Alberese are predominantly sandy and silty, while those around Baccinello are stonier, with alluvial pebbles and calcareous clay.
