Castello di Bolgheri Varvara 2020

Tuscany, ItalyHeavy bottle. This is a surprisingly juicy Bolgheri and, indeed, the winery says, "this wine was born from the desire to develop a more immediate product." A blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 28% merlot, and 12% cabernet franc, this shows sappy black currant, wild berries, sandalwood, and leather on a frame of dusty tannins and brisk acidity. It's calling for tomato-based pasta dishes to bring it all into balance, but, no doubt, you can enjoy this now. Nice concentration.Tasted: 05 January 2025Tasted by: Prices:
