Castello Di Bolgheri Superiore Bolgheri

Vintage: 2020
Description: (94 Points) In the bottle with the white label, the Castello di Bolgheri 2020 Bolgheri Superiore shows a hint of savory greenness with peppercorn, bay leaf, baked plum and blackberry preserves. The oak adds sweetness with cinnamon and nutmeg over a very generous mouthfeel with thick, chalky tannins that need a few more years of bottle age. With a 15% alcohol content, this wine is more intense on the palate compared to the bouquet. The effect is almost burly or pugilistic, setting this wine up for a pairing with hearty winter dishes. That hit of chili flake that we saw in the Bolgheri Rosso appears again here. Some 25,000 bottles were released, and the blend is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc and 7% Merlot.
