Comment on noteThe wine
Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the sun caresses the vines and the sea blows its sea spray. This Bolgheri Rosso Superiore DOC from La Madonnina is an invitation to this sensory journey, a deep and elegant expression of an exceptional terroir.
La Madonnina, nestled in the prestigious Bolgheri appellation, is an estate that has captured the essence of this blessed land. Here, the blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc gives birth to wines of rare complexity. This 2019 vintage, the fruit of a meticulous selection, reflects this perfect alchemy between nature and know-how. Fermentation in steel tanks, followed by extended maceration, extracts all the richness of the grapes.
When you pour this wine, you discover a deep ruby red color, tending toward garnet with time. On the nose, a complex bouquet offers itself to you: notes of ripe red fruits, such as blackberry and blackcurrant, blend harmoniously with vanilla and black pepper spices. You also perceive a slight hint of dark chocolate and tobacco, a legacy of 12 to 18 months of aging in French oak barriques. On the palate, this wine is robust and full, with an admirably balanced tannic structure. The flavors of black fruits blend with the sweet spices, and a mineral freshness persists, leading to a long and memorable finish.
This Bolgheri Rosso Superiore is an ideal companion for the most refined dishes. I particularly recommend it with roasted red meats, game or aged cheeses. To fully appreciate its complexity, do not hesitate to decant it a few hours before serving. It is a wine that takes time, but will repay you a hundredfold. It is perfect for a special evening, a dinner with friends, or simply to treat yourself and enjoy a moment of Tuscan escape.
