2020 Fattoria Le Pupille "Poggio Valente" Toscana Rosso, Tuscany, ItalyABOUT THIS WINE This wine sinks its roots in 1996, when Elisabetta decided to purchase a vineyard called Poggio Valente in nearby Pereta. The vineyard sits at 280 meters above sea level, creating large diurnal swings in temperature and an even growing season.
