James Suckling, 92+ Points 

"The 2021 Bolgheri Rosso is floral with ripe raspberry and boysenberry, pine, violet, and balsamic. It is medium to full bodied, with nice concentration in its notes of black cherry, red plum, and turned earth. A great value that packs a lot of wine for the dollar, it is a great introduction to the style of the estate."

Wine Advocate, 91 Points 

"The 2021 Bolgheri Rosso is 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 15% Sangiovese and 5% Petit Verdot that is fermented in stainless steel and sees a brief eight months in barrique. There's a metallic note with tin can or pencil shaving that frames bright fruit, forest berry, plum and blackberry. There is a moment of sweetness on the mid-weight palate that eventually balances out the wine's austerity. Considering the mineral-rich soils, that metallic profile is part of this wine's DNA." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The nose is a combo of dark fruits and chocolate with notes of plum and black currants, elegant and full with a fresh balsamic finish given by the Sangiovese. A dense and powerful wine with ripe tannins, juicy and rich with a striking structure."
