2014 Fittipaldi - Bolgheri

Donne Fittipaldi's style is always opulent and bold and this is evident in the 2014 Bolgheri Rosso. In fact, this younger and more basic wine compares to other Bolgheri Superiore wines in the region. The bouquet is dark and brooding with a combination of black fruit and exotic spice that work well hand in hand. There is a touch of tannic tightness that adds strength and a firm constitution. Like many other wines from 2014, this expression seems to happily defy the difficulties of the vintage. The blend is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot (aged in oak for six months).
