The chalky stones found in the “Montechiaro” vineyard are the same that make up Poggiarello's 9th century castle walls. Vibrant and profound, this 100% Cabernet Franc evolves dramatically in the glass; aromas of lavender and tobacco mix with a velvety mouthful of cherries and plums.
“The 2006 Montechiaro (100% Cabernet Franc) flows from the glass with layers of perfumed dark fruit, espresso, mocha and herbs. The wine possesses gorgeous textural richness and depth in an utterly engaging style. With a little more varietal definition the Montechiaro might very well merit a higher score. This is a beautiful wine. ” — The Wine Advocate
