Meet the winemaker - Terre del Marchesato
The 2021 Terre del Marchesato Marchesale Bolgheri Superiore is a captivating red wine that embodies the essence of the Bolgheri region in Tuscany, Italy. This wine is a blend of carefully selected grape varieties, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which thrive in the sun-drenched vineyards along the Tuscan coast.
In the glass, it presents a deep ruby color with garnet reflections, indicating its richness and maturity. The nose is an aromatic tapestry of dark fruits such as blackberries and plums, intertwined with hints of spice, tobacco, and subtle herbal notes. As it opens up, the bouquet reveals layers of vanilla and chocolate from oak aging, adding complexity and depth.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, showcasing a harmonious balance between ripe fruit flavors and elegant tannins. The acidity provides freshness, making it both approachable now and capable of aging gracefully for several years. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a lingering impression of dark fruit and a touch of minerality that reflects the unique terroir of Bolgheri.
This wine pairs beautifully with rich dishes such as braised meats, hearty stews, or aged cheeses. It is an exceptional representation of the Bolgheri Superiore designation, offering a taste of the region's renowned winemaking tradition and its ability to produce outstanding wines.
