Once again, Il Carbonaione is the highlight among these new releases from Vittorio and Jurij Fiore at Poggio Scalette. This small, family owned property is located in Lamole, next to Querciabella, a sector in Greve where Sangiovese often shows darker, bluish tints to its fruit. Poggio Scalette's Chianti Classico is solid, while the Bordeaux-blend Capogatto is tasty, but Il Carbonaione is the unquestioned thoroughbred in this range. In particular, I have always been impressed with the pedigree Il Carbonaione shows with bottle age, something that is less apparent when the wine is young because the primary fruit is so intense.
