Brand Poggio La Noce
Origin Italy, Tuscany

Poggio La Noce was established in 2000 by husband-and-wife team Enzo Schiano and Claire Beliard. Enzo is originally from Campania (which is why Falanghina is planted on the estate) and Claire from France. After living and working in the United States, they decided to move to the Italian countryside in 1999. The twenty-hectare estate resides in the hills of Fiesole outside Florence, though only eleven are planted to two vineyards: I Tulipani (named for the wild tulips which grow there in the spring) and Le Civette (named after a family of small owls who live above the vineyard). The Sangiovese, Colorino, Canaiolo and Falanghina vines are planted on rocky soils with south/southwest orientation at elevations between 800-1,000 feet, and have been farmed organically since they were first planted, certified in 2006. Meticulous attention to detail is paid in the vineyard and only the best fruit is kept for their wines. All wines are fermented with native yeasts in their eco-sustainable constructed cellar which is built into the hillside to maintain cool temperature and constant humidity.

Poggio la Noce considers Paonazzo to be their Grand Reserve wine. An old-school style, 50/50 blend of Sangiovese and Colorino, this stunning rosso displays a deep ruby red to the rim. Intoxicating aromas explode from the glass, offering a mélange of ripe raspberry, black cherry and plum tinged with notes of Asian spice and lightly toasted oak. The palate is dense and chewy, yet soft and elegant, presenting concentrated dark fruit flavors swaddled with silky tannins and a tantalizing acidity. The finish is long and lingering; you will taste this wine in your dreams! Wonderfully inviting right out of the bottle, the Paonazzo possesses incredible structure and will age gracefully with proper cellaring for the next 15+ years.
