Bolgheri Superiore Castello di Bolgheri 2019 (750ML)

96 points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: “With a stone-vaulted winery within the castle walls, Castello di Bolgheri makes wines that appeal to those who look for classic and traditional lines. There is indeed a lot of important history behind the 2019 Bolgheri Superiore, a blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with small elements of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Like the entry-level Varvàra, this wine boasts beautiful integration and soft lines that frame black fruit, spice and campfire ash. This wine holds back just a bit in terms of ripeness, and that explains the smooth elegance you get here. This is a special wine.” 07/22

95 Points, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator: "Distinguished by its silky texture, this red exudes black currant, cherry, tobacco, iron and spice aromas and flavors. Sleek in profile, well-structured and beautifully balanced, with a long finish driven by vibrant acidity. Features finesse, along with grip for aging. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc." 05/2022

97 Points, Raffaele Vecchione, WinesCritics.com: "Fascinating and decidedly graceful in the glass it shows guarantees in the memory of cherries, rose petals, grapefruit, geraniums, mandarin juice and wild thyme. Medium-full body, radiant and centered in the luminous sip, it closes dynamic and precise, showing an elegance of a select few. Best from 2022." 09/21
