Tenuta Le Colonne

The vineyards are 15 metres above sea level on a westerly exposure on river sediment soils with a sandy texture. The coastal sun shines through in the straw-yellow nuances of this wine. On the fresh bouquet, notes of lemon, freshly cut green apples, along with hints of mint and sage; these Mediterranean impressions are also found on the palate. A tasty, persistent and very versatile Vermentino from western Tuscany. SUPERIORE.DE

Pale pink colour, rich in light and coral reflections reminiscent of a sunset over the sea. In the glass, notes of small, fragrant red fruits, enriched by floral sensations and hints of the lively sweetness of raspberries. Pleasant freshness on the palate, with a fruity, lively finish and a beautiful maritime aura. SUPERIORE.DE

Intense ruby red, complex bouquet with notes of black cherry, blueberry and plum, followed by coffee, liquorice and leather. Powerful and full-bodied in the drink, sweet in its tannic texture, infused with a lively freshness and with a beautiful fruit core. Persistent on the palate with notes of liquorice and cocoa, giving the Rosso an elegant and full-bodied finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"A bright, fruity style, offering black currant, black cherry, iron and tobacco flavors backed by a vibrant structure. Lingers with a tangy, mouthwatering finish." Wine Spectator

Dark red with bright, violet reflections. The nose is pleasant and beautifully articulated with sensations of red and black fruits, including blackcurrants and ripe cherries. After further aeration, aromas of flowers and black pepper follow. Soft, well-integrated tannins on the palate, followed by an energetic and viral finish with red fruits in the aftertaste.

"The organic Tenuta le Colonne 2020 Bolgheri Rosso is a classic expression with elegant lines and a medium-bodied presentation. This blend is easy-drinking and fresh; it also awards a lot of local character and charm. You taste black fruit, spice and a hint of hot-climate grape skins." Wine Advocate

"Intriguing aromas of black olives and flowers with crushed-stone and blackcurrant notes. Hints of tar and blackberries, too. Full-bodied with layers of fine tannins that spread across the palate." James Suckling

Tenuta le Colonne Bolgheri Superiore comes from a beautiful vineyard just a stone's throw from the pine-lined coast. Intense, impenetrable ruby red. On the complex bouquet, dark fruits with distinct notes of blackcurrants and blueberries, accompanied by spicy notes, coffee and graphite. On the palate, energetic and refined at the same time, concentrated and powerful, just as complex yet beautifully balanced as on the nose and very long-lasting as it progresses. SUPERIORE.DE

"Ruby red and leafy-scented, full of fresh notes of rosemary and lavender, pipe tobacco and a balsamic touch. Multifaceted and complex, dense and fresh, it shows a delicate rose aroma with dense, youthful and crisp cassis and red cherry. It's edgy, but the toasty flavours make for a lovely finish." Decanter

"An elegant, lively red wine characterised by aromas of mint, wild rosemary and eucalyptus. It offers flavours of blackcurrants, blackberries, violets and minerals that unfold on the palate in a lingering finish. Balanced and will be even better in a year or two." Wine Spectator

"The Tenuta le Colonne 2019 Bolgheri Superiore is a small production of 6,000 bottles from a site with sandy, gravelly soils. It shows pure aromas of black fruits, dried blueberries, toasted oak, cherry and gravel. Soft-textured and medium to full-bodied, this red also shows lovely hints of earth, forest floor and delicate blue flowers." Wine Advocate
