Bolgheri Superiore DOC

The Home of the Legendary "Super Tuscans"

Located on the Tuscan coast, the Bolgheri region gained worldwide fame when local winemakers boldly began planting French Bordeaux varieties instead of the traditional Sangiovese. The Superiore classification guarantees that the red wine is produced only from the finest vineyard plots, with strictly limited yields, and undergoes extended aging in oak barrels. This results in an incredibly rich beverage where hints of blackcurrant, blackberry, tobacco, vanilla, and cedar wood seamlessly intertwine.

Elegance and Gastronomic Harmony

This powerful, full-bodied wine with firm yet velvety tannins demands rich and hearty food. It pairs wonderfully with beef steaks, game stews, grilled lamb, and mature hard cheeses. If you are looking for a substantial and luxurious gift, Bolgheri Superiore is the perfect wine gift for any connoisseur of classic, robust beverages.

When is the best time to open this wine?
Bolgheri Superiore is built for the long haul. While modern winemaking allows them to be enjoyed young, they reveal their best qualities after 5 to 10 years in the cellar, and exceptional vintages can age gracefully for 20 years or more.

Is it necessary to decant Bolgheri Superiore?
Yes, especially if you are opening a bottle younger than 7 to 8 years. Pouring it into a decanter and letting it breathe for at least 1 to 2 hours will soften the tannins and allow its complex aromatic profile to fully open up.

Which grapes make up the blend?
Typically, it is a classic "Bordeaux blend" dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, often complemented by Cabernet Franc. Sometimes, winemakers add a touch of Syrah or Petit Verdot to provide extra spice or color depth.
