The wine

Bolgheri Superiore i Luoghi 2018: The Bordeaux soul of Tuscany

Imagine yourself, on a summer evening, with the setting sun over the Tuscan hills. It is in this setting that I discovered a gem, a wine that carries within it the strength of Bolgheri and the elegance of great reds. This Bolgheri Superiore 2018, from the i Luoghi estate, is not just a wine; it is a story, an encounter between a unique terroir and grape varieties that have found their full expression there.

Bolgheri: An exceptional terroir with Bordeaux accents

The Az Agr. i Luoghi estate is nestled in Bolgheri, that little corner of Tuscany, in the province of Livorno, whose very name evokes excellence. You know, this region has become famous for its red wines, and it is no coincidence. The secret lies in a perfect blend: sandy-clay soil and a dry, well-ventilated microclimate. These conditions are ideal for the flourishing of Bordeaux-origin grape varieties, which find a second home here. This Bolgheri Superiore is the fruit of a harmonious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Syrah, varieties that have managed to tame this terroir to offer a wine of great complexity.

At first glance, this wine will seduce you with its intense ruby red color. On the nose, it is an invitation to travel: generous aromas of wild berries mingle with the enchanting scents of Mediterranean herbs and the more exotic notes of oriental spices. On the palate, it reveals all its power. It is full-bodied, persistent, and the flavors faithfully echo the promises of the aromatic bouquet. The vinification, with a twenty-day fermentation in steel tanks, followed by fourteen months of aging in French barriques, then a minimum of twenty-four months of maturation, gives it this remarkable structure and depth.

An ideal companion for your gourmet tables

So, what should you pair with this Bolgheri Superiore? I warmly recommend it with dishes that can match its character. Picture it alongside grilled red meats, a slow-cooked game dish or a platter of aged cheeses. This wine is an invitation to conviviality, to sharing an exceptional moment. It is the perfect companion for an evening with friends, a romantic dinner or simply to treat yourself, savoring each sip as a promise of Tuscan richness.
