"The Beautiful Threshing Floor". The name evokes the old threshing floor where grain was dried and threshed: a down-to-earth, rural term for a place that has taken on a ganz andere Klang in the modern world of wine. Tenuta Bell’Aja is situated in Bolgheri, in the Località Le Sondraie, near the famous avenue of cypress trees which Giosuè Carducci immortalised in his 1874 poem “Davanti San Guido”. The poet saw his childhood here; San Felice saw a terroir here that was to become his third great playground. The soil of Bolgheri is different from that of Castelnuovo Berardenga: sandy loam, brooding, well-drained – no galestro, no limestone, but rather the alluvial deposits of a coastal climate that lend Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon a suppleness that heavy soils simply do not allow.

A deep violet-red colour. On the nose, wild berry jam, sweet spices and a hint of vanilla. Pleasant on the palate, characterised by soft, enveloping tannins – — elegant, approachable, with a long final. Bolgheri at its most inviting. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense and powerful, with notes of lush black fruits, Mediterranean scrub and spices. Somewhat austere on the palate, with firm, angular tannins, lively acidity and a crisp, long-lasting finish." James Suckling
