The sweet black currant and black cherry fruit flavors are framed by cedar, licorice and saline mineral elements in this rich, supple red. Displays plenty of structure, with the firm tannins buried by ample flesh. Fine length. Best from 2014 through 2024. 1,650 cases made. –BS

Castello di Bolgheri
Flying under-the-radar for so many years, Castello di Bolgheri is finally gaining some traction in the wine-world. Their large plot surrounds the castle and extends for over 130-hectares, with 53-hectares planted to Bordeaux varietals. The vineyards stand perpendicular to the sea, and profit from the cooling winds during the summer season. Inherited from Countess Franca Spalletti Trivelli, her son Federico Zileri Dal Verme now owns the winery. The estate produces two reds under enologist, Alessandro Dondi. A Bordeaux inspired blend called Castello di Bolgheri Superiore, and a second label, Varvàra, which is often a popular choice amongst the Tuscan locals.
