An intense wine with vibrancy and style. On the nose it shows bright cassis, bramble fruit, eucalyptus, balsamic, graphite, minerals and hints of leather and tobacco. Soft palate with silky, velvety tannins, crisp acidity and a long, chewy, savory finish. The first vintage with 10% cabernet franc. Drink or hold.
A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, and Merlot, the saturated red/magenta 2021 Bolgheri Rosso is attractive with the primary fruit of crushed raspberries, sweet herbs, and crushed roses, and the Sangiovese seems to shine through, adding nice lift of perfume to this blend. Medium to full-bodied, it’s refreshing on the palate as well, with its more herbal accents balancing on the sides of the palates with a mouthwatering touch of salinity and Mediterranean feel. This lovely Rosso would be fantastic alongside hard cheese such as Pecorino or Parmigiana Reggiano.
