Hidden Tuscany Rating
Bolgheri Superiore 2018 from Tenuta Fratini, a blend of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in wood for at least 24 months with the typical saline profile of the coast. Main drawback: price reduced to €191.38 for 75 cl without any distinction or guide mentioned.
Bolgheri Superiore DOC appellation and Bolgheri zone named, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon blend consistent with the coast
No awards or guides mentioned; producer not attested by a reputation text, which remains an absence of information and not a flaw.
Price reduced to 75 cl at €191.38, high for a Bolgheri Superiore without any mentioned distinction; the 1.5 L large format and the discounted price are favorable points but insufficient.
Precise pairings (red meats, game, aged cheeses), detailed aromatic profile and serving temperature of 16-18°C indicated; nothing about aging potential or youth.
Tenuta Fratini named and located in Bolgheri, fermentation in steel and aging in wood for at least 24 months specified; neither manual harvesting nor organic farming mentioned.

Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the sun caresses the vines and the sea air brings a saline breeze. It is in this enchanting setting that this Bolgheri Superiore from Tenuta Fratini is born, a wine that tells you the story of an exceptional terroir with every sip.
The Bolgheri production zone, on the Tuscan coast, is famous for its red wines of great complexity. Tenuta Fratini, with its respectful approach to the territory, grows grape varieties that thrive under the Mediterranean sun. This Bolgheri Superiore is made from a rigorous selection of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, grape varieties that find a unique expression here.
When you pour this wine, its intense, deep red color already promises a beautiful experience. On the nose, you will discover a rich and complex aromatic bouquet. Notes of ripe black fruits, such as blackberry and blackcurrant, mingle with herbaceous and saline touches, recalling the proximity of the sea. The wood aging brings subtle spicy nuances, of vanilla and black pepper, as well as accents of tobacco, which add to its depth. On the palate, this Bolgheri Superiore 2018 reveals a robust structure, with well-integrated tannins that give it a beautiful persistence. Fermentation in steel and aging in wood, for a minimum of 24 months, contribute to its balance and finesse.
This wine is an ideal companion for special moments. I recommend it with grilled red meats, a flavorful game dish or aged cheeses. Its complexity and richness also make it a perfect wine to enjoy on its own, to fully appreciate all its nuances. Let yourself be carried away by this invitation to discover the authentic flavors of Tuscany.
