Castello di Bolgheri
Varvàra Bolgheri Super Tuscan Red Blend
Bolgheri, Livorno, Tuscany, Italy
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Very pretty color of ruby with a wide reddish rim.
Nice nose with unique aluminum notes.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with red and black fruits, earth, herbs, oak, chocolates, vanilla, licorice, spices, tobacco and peppercorn.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a very tasty Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Bolgheri in Tuscany. Elegant and fruity with nice complexity.
Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Easy drinking and needs time to open up properly.
Already tasty and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
Elegant and robust. Spicy and fruit forward.
Feels like an old world Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of new world.
A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc and 20% Merlot. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, and 6 months in large Austrian barrels.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$30.
