A wonderful, balanced representative of Bolgheri, which also comes with an impressively long finish
An organic wine with a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon , 20% Cabernet Franc , 20% Merlot & 10% Sangiovese and matured for 10 months in Barriques.
As Jancis Robinson says "delicious and a worthy reflection of the style of the top wine. Like any fine second wine, it’s simply more approachable than the grand vin, and, as usual, in this case it costs a small fraction of it"
Jancis describes the 2022 vintage as a Luscious-looking purple. Heady. Very rich and opulent. Rather gorgeous for a young wine. Rich but not heavy - thats an awesome description.
The entry into the mouth is soft and round; good progression with fruity notes supported by a pleasant acidity. In the finish, the gentle spiciness is finely integrated with the tannin. Brilliant ruby red colour. Plum, redcurrant, dried cherry and leather on the nose. Full of juice and power on the palate, wonderfully harmonious flavours of small red fruits, Mediterranean spices and a taut tannin structure. A wonderful and well-balanced representative from Bolgheri, which also boasts an impressively long finish.
