WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Castello di Bolgheri is a selection of the best vineyards around the Castle. The grapes undergo a very delicate vinification through pumping over and delestage and a long stay in contact with the skins.
TASTING NOTES:
The purity of blackcurrant and lavender is greatly appreciated. The palate is focused and very polished, with substance and an air of excellence. Medium body with integrated tannins and a light tomato-leaf and currant aftertaste.
- James Suckling, 95 pts.
Rich and succulent, this red evokes black cherry, blackberry, earth, eucalyptus, licorice and spice flavors. Firm yet balanced, with a salty taste on the extended finish. Appealing now, but the tannins imply theres no rush. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Drink now through 2032. 2,500 cases made, 350 cases imported.
