2016 Podernuovo - Staccato Toscana

Podernuovo Description

Staccato is a special cuvee that is only made for a specific importer here in the U.S. who happens to be a good friend of mine. Staccato is not made in every vintage, there was no 2015. The wine is a result of excess juice that does not go into their more expensive bottling’s which retail for 30-$50 a bottle, and they are SERIOUS values for that price. There were 220 cases made of this wine, we are fortunate to have access to it.

One of the most famous families in Italy is Bulgari, one of the most famous jewelry dynasties and luxury brands in the world. When son Giovani Bulgari fell in love with wine, he decided to enroll in school to study viticulture to learn how to make wine. Giovani graduated and partnered with his father Paolo Bulgari who has plenty of capital to set the winery up properly. No expense was spared in finding the perfect plot of land and building a state of the art wine making facility.

 

The Podernuovo estate was purchased in 2004 by Paolo and Giovanni Bulgari. The vineyard had been abandoned many years before, and the challenge was to bring it to new life, and have it produce elegant and harmonious wines. Wines that would capture the essence, the beauty and harmony of this specific place, respecting its nature and its history. We firmly believe that the Bulgari’s have met and exceeded their expectations.

While we do not drink for the publicist pleasure, this wine was awarded 92 Pts in the 2014 vintage. The 2016 is a superior wine.

At the price, you will not go wrong.

Tasting Notes: Intense ruby red color with purple highlights.  Loads of bright and ripe berry character, Blackberry jam and sandalwood aromas, with fresh herbs on the nose, with delicate hints of black pepper, liquorice and cocoa. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and jammy, yet balanced fruit.  Plum skin, vanilla bean, and espresso tie together the backend.  This wine has something for everyone, with fruit concentration and vibrancy, while still maintaining seamless sophistication and elegance.
