The 2020 Bolgheri Rosso enchants with its deep garnet colour, setting the stage for a sensory journey. On the nose, it presents an intriguing complexity of blue and purple berries, intertwined with toasted spice and baked earth, evoking the essence of its Tuscan terroir. The palate is robust, with ripe fruit flavours at its core, including luscious plum and black cherry, which persist despite the muscular tannins that provide a firm structure.
