Bolgheri
See Bolgheri producers See a list of Bolgheri wines See map
Bolgheri is a new DOC in the coastal Maremma region which first rose to prominence during the 1970s with the emergence of famous `Super-Tuscan' wines like Ornellaia and Sassicaia. These new ventures had rocked the DOC establishment by using high proportions of Cabernet Sauvignon, opting out of the DOC system and relabeling their wines as simply `Vino da Tavola'.
Having won universal acclaim and sold for unprecedented prices, higher even than Tuscany's finest wines, the authorities relented and awarded Bolgheri its own DOC. The actions of the Super-Tuscans inspired a generation in Italy, even if some of the wines here have lost a little of their lustre.

The 2004 Guado al Tasso is a wonderful Cabernet based Super-Tuscan from the great Marchesi Antinori. Rich, dark fruit is the immediate sensation here with black fruit from the 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, lifted by hints of liquorice from the 10% Syrah. The reamining 40% is made up of Merlot which ...

Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. Deep crimson. The funny thing is that this wine smells first and foremost Tuscan rather than like the Bordeaux blend that it is. A good thing! Very savoury with real tang and I could swear there was some Sangiovese in here. Zings with life but there is no obvious sweetness at all (cf ... MORE Drink 2009-2025 .

"The gorgeous 2004 Ornellaia is a great way to start this tasting. A lively dark ruby, it is a vibrant effort bursting with expressive aromatics and layered, well-delineated fruit, showing much purity on the palate and closing with a long, finessed finish. Readers hoping to catch this wine’s ... MORE The Wine Advocate Score: 95/100 | ||||
