The 2017 Bolgheri Superiore l'Alberello shows a fine and seamless nature that defies this challenging vintage. This is a blend of organic 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot aged in oak for a standard 18 months. The vines are planted according to a special spacing method called "settonce" in Italian. This means that each alberello plant (or head pruned vine) is equidistant to the next. In theory, this brings more light and favors even ripening. Indeed, "even" is the word that first comes to mind. The intensity and the dark fruit aromas are nicely spaced out and level. However, the tannins are extra tight, showing the phenolic ripeness of the hot and dry vintage.

Enticing black currant, blackberry, licorice, sage and graphite aromas and flavors mark this concentrated yet lithe red, which is balanced, lingering with a salty element on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2028. 1,500 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Bolgheri Select to Add
