“Dedicato a Walter” Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2017 · 6 bottles in OWC
Poggio al Tesoro | Tuscany
Corte Giara s.r.l. | Via Giare 5 | IT 37022 Fumane di Valpolicella
Marilisa and Franco Allegrini dedicated this single-varietal Cabernet Franc from their own vineyards on Via Bolgherese to their eldest brother Walter, who died in 2003. The 2015 vintage marked the beginning of an even more radical focus on the terroir and the quality of the grapes. Since then, a third fewer bottles have been filled each year, resulting in a Bolgheri Superiore from their own grapes from the core zone of Bolgheri, which can hardly be surpassed in elegance and character. Compact and elegant Cabernet Franc with fine tobacco notes, ripe blackcurrant aromas, some pepper and eucalyptus, plus slightly earthy tones. Dense fruit and polished tannin on the palate, clear, rich final. SUPERIORE.DE
"Elegant ruby red. Spicy, inviting nose, delicate fumé, clear forest berries, elderberries and mint on the nose, red pepper, great herbal spice. On the palate very powerful and present, dense in attack and course, currently still very young." Falstaff
"The 2017 Bolgheri Superiore Dedicato a Walter is a plush, beguiling wine. Inky blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, cedar and dried flowers give the 2017 layers of nuance. Here, too, there seems to be a pronounced shift to a style that emphasizes greater elegance and nuance than in the past. I especially admire the persistence here. The 2017 should be a gem with a few years in bottle." Vinous
"Sweet berries and cherries with some fresh-herb undertones. Very perfumed. It’s full-bodied, yet fresh and linear, with brightness and firmness at the same time. Really linear and layered. Needs two or three years to soften. Best from 2024." James Suckling
"Laced with vanilla, cherry, floral, herbal and oak spice aromas and flavors, this elegant red is tightly wound, needing time to absorb the oak, yet beautifully balanced, lingering with fruit, spice and mineral notes on the long finish." Wine Spectator
