Castello del Poggio takes its name from a 12th-century fortress, a site historically linked to the Knights Templar.Immediately welcoming with scents of ripe red cherries, wild strawberries, and a faint hint of dried herbs, gliding across the palate with a smooth, velvety texture. This wine offers a great balance of drinkability with varietal typicity - an effortless crowd pleaser for BBQs, mid-week dinners, or casual gatherings.

Located in the hills of southwest Montalcino, the original site was identified for its quality by the Marchese Vittorio Frescobaldi in the 1960s, and later launched as partnership between the Marchese and California wine legend Robert Mondavi.

Cantina Vallebelbo is located in Piemonte, in the small village of Santo Stefano Belbo, between the provinces of Cuneo and Asti. The name of the winery is inspired by the river Belbo that runs through the valley. Over the centuries, the river has shaped the surrounding hills, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014. Very bright crimson red color, with intense aromas of redcurrants and complex notes of dusty baked earth. Very juicy berries on the palate with sweet, plump red fruits on the mid-palate in particular, supported by floral notes and prominent but refined Nebbiolo tannins. An excellent, well-priced introduction to this classic Italian variety.
