Wine Enthusiast rates Chance 05 by PoggioVerrano


The New Year starts with a good news !!

US magazine Wine Enthusiast rates 93 the vintage 2005 of our limited release red bland CHANCE.

Here the nice comments written by the wine critic Monica Larner: “Francesco Bolla’s Poggio Verrano is an interesting estate worth keeping an eye on. The wines show consistent quality and the red blend Chance is the latest in a varied portfolio of products that show the best of southern Tuscany. The wine opens with ripe fruit aromas, cured meat and leather”

Grazie Monica :)
