“Poggio Scalette's 2010 Capogatto is compelling. Mocha, plums, smoke, licorice and incense all literally explode from the glass in a super-ripe, intense wine loaded with character and pure personality. The 2010 is wonderfully warm, open and resonant, yet there is more than enough underlying structure to provide balance. This is a surprisingly big, rich wine for the year, but it all works. Capogatto is a Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon/Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot blend.”

“Concentrated but not overbearing, showing good acidity, this boasts black cherry, plum and spice flavors, finishing on the elegant side, with subtle accents of tar and earth.”
