Bolgheri, Livorno

Tenuta I Greppi

Greppicaia Bolgheri Superiore

Cabernet Sauvignon-forward blend with Merlot and Cabernet Franc from Bolgheri on the Tuscan coast. Elegant, silky tannins and loads of violet and black cherry, cassis, black plum, dusty mocha, and cedar. It’s just beginning to show some tertiary quality with dried cherry and black tea-like dried leaves and forest floor. Bright acidity and wonderful balance of fruit, alcohol ( 15% abv) and tannin, augmented by a long finish. Still tight with a great future ahead. — 16 days ago

Millepassi Bolgheri Superiore 2007

v07. Treasure! Deep rusted purple color. Fragrant toasted tobacco leaves sprinkled with dried oregano nose. Rich, creamy, blackberry, blueberry, plum and tar fruit. Velvety, slightly chewy, chocolate and soft leather finish. Selfishly enjoyable! — 22 days ago

Sor Ugo Bolgheri Superiore Super Tuscan Blend 2021

Lovely super Tuscan. Juicy with enough acidity and grip to stand up to smoked ribs. And not too expensive. — 22 days ago
