This 2019 Poggio Scalette Il Carbonaione, a powerful Sangiovese, is best served at 16-18°C (60-64°F). Given its youth, we highly recommend decanting it for at least 2-3 hours to allow its robust tannins to soften and its complex aromas to emerge. It is still very young and will benefit from further aging, with an optimal drinking window from 2026 to 2040+.

Il Carbonaione is a 100% Sangiovese wine from Tuscany, often considered a 'Super Tuscan' due to its exceptional quality and distinct character. It's full-bodied, intense, and savory, with notes of dark cherry, plum, tobacco, leather, and earthy spices, supported by firm tannins. It pairs wonderfully with rich Asian dishes like roasted pork belly, beef noodle soup, Peking duck, or spicy Szechuan beef.

This bottle is in perfect condition, with a flawless label (score 10), an excellent in-neck fill level (score 10), and an intact capsule (score 10). For optimal home storage, keep the bottle horizontally in a cool, dark place with a stable temperature (around 12-15°C or 54-59°F) and consistent humidity, away from vibrations and direct light.
