Bolgheri Superiore DOC 75 cl
Bolgheri Superiore DOC from Castello di Bolgheri stands for a classic yet precise interpretation of the appellation. The blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot combines structure, depth and elegance, while clearly expressing the character of the gravelly soils around Castagneto Carducci. The Mediterranean climate, with its constant sea breezes, ensures even ripening and gives the wine balance and freshness.
Producer: Castello di Bolgheri
Castello di Bolgheri is one of the historically defining estates of the region and is located in the heart of the appellation. Its vineyards lie along the famous Viale dei Cipressi and benefit from a balanced microclimate with maritime influences. Under the direction of Federico Zileri Dal Verme, the estate follows a clear stylistic vision: structured, long-lived wines with precise terroir expression. The combination of selective hand harvesting, careful vinification and targeted ageing results in wines that place origin and elegance at the forefront.
