Natalie's Review

Poggio Al Tufo Alicante 2006 2006, I.G.T. Maremma Toscana, Italy: Vintages Wine Panel: Alicante is an extremely rare type of grape as not only is the skin red but so is the pulp. In fact, it is the only Vitis vinifera grape that is red fleshed and typically produces wines that are deeply coloured. It was created by Henri Bouschet in the late 19th century when he crossed Petit Bouschet with Grenache. This delicious red is a fantastic discovery wine for those looking to add another 'untried' grape variety to their life-list of enjoyed wines. My note: Silky rich with notes of black fruit and mocha.  70797  13%  XD  750 mL  $19.95  Score: 89/100. April 26, 2008  Full Review
