“Varvàra” Rosso Bolgheri DOC 2018

Castello di Bolgheri | Tuscany
Az. Agr. Castello di Bolgheri | Via Lauretta 7 | IT 57020 Bolgheri

Here comes Varvàra, the convincing "second wine" of the Bolgheri shooting star, which bears its name in honor of Baroness Varvàra Wrangel. A wine completely in the style of the house: sophisticated, warm, soft, with a finely pronounced berry nose, beautiful herbal aromas and of great elegance and refinement. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich, bright ruby with garnet. On the nose of ripe berries, luscious cherries and some cinnamon, distinctly fleshy nuances on the second whiff, peppery, rich and ripe. On the palate polished and round, spreads harmoniously over the tongue, beautiful course, coherent, tightly woven and with emphasis." Falstaff

"Aromas of blackcurrants and fresh herbs with hints of green olives. It’s full-bodied with chewy tannins and a solid core of ripe tannins and juicy fruit. Extremely long and flavorful. Rich and intense red. Give it three to four years to soften. Better after 2024." James Suckling

"The popular Castello di Bolgheri 2018 Bolgheri Rosso Varvàra opens to sultry dark fruit with measured layers of tobacco and leather. This wine shows a smoky and savory side that is rendered brighter and more intense thanks to the crisp plum, blackberry and black cherry found at its core. This is the ultimate trattoria choice, especially when grilled steak or funghi porcini are on the menu." Robert Parker
