Poggio Scalette’s 2004 Il Carbonaione (100% Sangiovese) is another animal entirely. It bursts from the glass with layers of deeply spiced, mentholated fruit. Sweet and expansive on the palate, this powerful, dense wine offers superb balance. Today the tannins are somewhat imposing, so further bottle age seems prudent. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. Father and son team Jurij and Vittorio Fiore make wines of much distinction at their small winery. The property is located in the hills of Greve, right next to neighbors Querciabella. Their top wine is Il Carbonaione, a 100% Sangiovese (from the Lamole clone) aged predominantly in small French oak barrels which has a track record of aging very well, even in smaller vintages. A forthcoming article in the Italy Report section of www.erobertparker.com will explore past vintages of Il Carbonaione in more detail. A Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel.

Modern, ripe aromas with lots of new oak. Ripe, full and very fresh fruit palate. Wonderful acidity, ripe tannins.

Thick, dark concentration sets the tone, but elegance and harmony are achieved thanks to delicate mineral and balsam notes that add buoyancy and personality. This is a wine that speaks volumes about its Tuscan territory and you can almost taste that sun-drenched, chalky minerality sucked up through the vines’ roots.——M.L.(4/1/2008)—— 92
