Production area: Bolgheri, Toscana region, provinces of Livorno, Italy. Bolgheri is a relatively young and most prestigious Italian Appelation. It is known mainly for deeply coloured, supple yet age worthy red wines, usually based on the Bordeaux grape varieties. A wine must also be aged for at least two years with a minimum of one year in oak barrels. And as each winemaker ultimately decides on their final ‘recipe,’ it makes for an enjoyable, and possibly decadent, way to discover what Super is. Grape variety: red Bordeaux blend - Cabernet Sauvignon , Merlot , Petit Verdot. Aged up to 24 months in oak barrique; Color : Violet red ; This blend characterized by a complex aromatic profile of black cherry notes from the Cabernet, bold-yet-floral expression of Petit Verdot with ethereal aromas of plum, lilac, violet and sage. Full-bodied and richness that the Cabernet & Petit Verdot adds to the overall blend, its velvety tannins support a wonderfully persistent, polished finish that the Merlot adds with creamy oak notes.

GREAT WINE: Juicy and floral on the nose with flavors, full of black, compact fruit. The mouth is dry and juicy with abundant and dense tannins that make the taste silky and full, giving a final round and fruity taste. One of the smoothest and most delicate wine we have ever tried.
