Bolgheri Superiore is the premium expression of Bolgheri terroir and its potential both in the immediate future, as well as its ability to give its best in aging. Each individual parcel is vinified and aged in barriques separately; the best masses are blended together after rigorous tasting to continue aging, giving the best expression of the vintage. The distinctive features are the structure and depth, elegance and complexity supported by a background freshness of balsamic and mineral notes.
