This Bolgheri Rosso, a ‘second wine’ from a prestigious estate, typically presents an intense and complex aroma profile. Expect prominent notes of dark fruits like blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, interwoven with savory nuances of cedar, tobacco leaf, graphite, and a hint of Mediterranean scrub (maquis) from the terroir. Subtle spicy notes of vanilla and clove from oak aging will also be present. On the palate, it is full-bodied and well-structured, with a firm yet elegant tannic framework. The fruit concentration is balanced by vibrant acidity, leading to flavors that echo the nose, often with an added touch of cherry, menthol, or balsamic. The 2021 vintage suggests a wine with youthful energy and a long, persistent finish that lingers with fruit, spice, and mineral undertones.
