The wine

Tenuta Meraviglia: The Elegance of Bolgheri Superiore 2018

Imagine yourself in the heart of Tuscany, where the sun caresses the vines and the sea air brings a singular touch. This is where this Bolgheri Superiore comes from, a wine that whispers the story of its terroir with rare elegance.

The Unique Terroir of Bolgheri and the Philosophy of Tenuta Meraviglia

This wine was born in the Bolgheri region, an appellation that has forged a reputation for excellence. Tenuta Meraviglia, the estate behind this bottle, cultivates its vines on clay soils dotted with rocky outcrops, typical of this coastal area of Tuscany. It is this unique composition that gives the wine its depth and complexity. The 2018 vintage I am presenting to you is made from Cabernet Franc, a grape variety that flourishes wonderfully here.

The color of this Bolgheri Superiore is an intense ruby red, with tinges tending toward garnet, a sign of its aging potential. On the nose, you will discover a rich and persistent bouquet, where notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, blend harmoniously with spicy accents of vanilla and black pepper. These aromas are the result of fermentation in steel tanks followed by aging in wood, a method that respects the expression of the fruit while providing beautiful structure. On the palate, the wine reveals a solid and balanced structure, with elegant, silky tannins that coat the palate, offering long aromatic persistence. The acidity is perfectly balanced, making it a wine destined for a bright future. This estate practices organic farming, a commitment that is reflected in the purity and liveliness of this wine.

An Ideal Companion for Your Festive Tables

This Bolgheri Superiore is a perfect companion for rich, structured meals. I particularly recommend it with roasted red meats, game, or aged cheeses. Picture it on your table during a special occasion, sharing a convivial moment with your loved ones. It is a wine that invites discovery and pleasure, a true expression of the Tuscan art of living.
