Description
The colour is the most notable point in the first examination of the Caggiole. The wine is a delicate, pale ruby hue, almost reminiscent of a Nebbiolo wine and certainly not what you would immediately expect from Sangiovese. On the palate, the analogy with Barolo continues. The juxtaposition of grippy tannins and red fruit is mellowed by a delicate sprinkle of wood spice and a slight hint of balsamic vinegar. A nice balance in the glass, but will reward cellaring to soften out further.

Critics reviews
James Suckling 94/100
This is really refined and savoury with a lightly mineral edge to the zesty oranges, nutmeg, sage and berries. Juicy and intense on the palate with fine tannins and a vertical yet ethereal finish. Excellent focus with a tight grip at the end, even though the finish goes on and on.

Monica Larner 94/100
Only 5,000 bottles were crafted. The estate is now certified for organics.
This wine is part of the Alliance, a group of like-minded producers who seek to raise the quality bar in this storied appellation. The Poliziano 2019 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Le Caggiole comes from a special 14-hectare vineyard site with sandy soils of ancient marine origin. The wine carries its significant oak spice very nicely, thanks to the extracted and generous black fruit found at its core. This is a balanced, full-bodied expression that embraces contemporary Montepulciano winemaking.

Eric Guido 95/100
Intensely spicy and complex, the 2019 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Le Caggiole smoulders up from the glass with a bouquet of crushed ashen stones, dried black cherries, cedar spice box and rosemary. This is pure elegance, deep and textural, with a dense wave of ripe red and black fruits that rush across a core of salty minerals and brisk acidity. It finishes long and structured, with a lingering concentration promising steady evolution. This is the best rendition of Le Caggiole that I've ever tasted. A wine for the cellar.
