Tenuta Meraviglia Bolgheri Rosso DOC 2020

The Tenuta Meraviglia 2020 Bolgheri Rosso (with 25,000 bottles made) comes from a vineyard site with soils of volcanic origin and lots of rocks that help to aerate the soils, allowing for water and nutrients to penetrate the roots. This pretty Cabernet Franc offers soft cherry and blackberry with baking spice, wet slate and crushed mineral. The wine is ripe and soft with medium complexity and an easy-drinking style. There is a veil of dusty tannins on the close.

Lots of cabernet franc character with crushed berries, fresh herbs and granite. Steely and floral notes, too. Full-bodied with a creamy texture and juicy finish. The tannins are a touch austere, yet energetic and fresh. Drink now.
