2010 Tenuta Sette Ponti Crognolo AG--93

Antonio Galloni: 93 Points
The 2010 Crognolo, a Sangiovese/Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon blend, jumps from the glass with juicy dark cherries, savory herbs, licorice and new leather. The Crognolo is quite a bit more extroverted than the Poggio al Lupo. At the same time, the Crognolo retains plenty of focus and energy. Expressive floral and balsamic-infused notes add lift on the close.
