Bolgheri Rosso

2023

A wonderful, balanced representative of Bolgheri, which also comes with an impressively long finish

Bolgheri Rosso 2023
34.00
750ml
Ready, but will improve

An organic wine with a blend of 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, 10% Sangiovese and 5% Petit Verdot 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"

The 2023 Bolgheri Rosso highlights the importance of the Cabernet Franc in the blend. In the glass, it displays a purple/red color and is highly expressive with wonderful energy on the nose. Fermented in stainless steel tank, and then in used barrels (3 to 4 years old), the nose reveals lively aromas of currants, graphite, black raspberries, sweet herbs, and floral perfume. The palate is full-bodied, with a refreshing, compact, and angular structure, well-defined tannins, an even spine of acidity, and notes of dusty earth through the finish. An overachiever with exceptional purity, this is an early contender for top lists of the year. Bravo.
