92Wine Spectator

Intense aromas of blackberry, black pepper and mint. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, caressing finish, which shows lots of blackberry, tarragon and lavender.

90Vinous / IWC

Medium-deep ruby. Bay leaf, coffee, dark chocolate and a touch of grass greet the nose, but there is also plenty of ripe red cherry fruit present. Rich and suave on the palate, with pretty red cherry, spicy plum and cassis flavors...

REGION

Italy, Tuscany, Bolgheri

Bolgheri is a tiny village just inland from the western Tuscan coast with a storybook renaissance castle but no train station. To wine enthusiasts, however, Bolgheri DOC is perhaps Italy’s most exciting wine appellation. It is the cultural heart of the Maremma, the coastal stretch of Tuscany where some of the first Super Tuscans were produced commercially in the late 1960s. Various members of the legendary Antinori wine dynasty and other influential producers established estates in Bolgheri starting in the 1970s, creating such Super Tuscans as Guado Al Tasso and Ornellaia. Bolgheri was awarded DOC status in 1983. Red, white and dessert wines are made in this appellations, and many of the most renowned are the Super Tuscans made from blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese and other red varietals. The white wines are blends of Vermentino and Trebbiano. The reds are notable for being blends that have a distinctive Tuscan terroir.
