    After many years of identifying the best Merlot, Cabernet and Petit Verdot parcels within the boundaries of their Bolgheri vineyard, the Antinori family and then Lodovico Antinori, with the help of the famous OenologistMichel Rolland, discovered in the early 2000s that there was an even more special microclimate and terroir in the middle of this microclimate and terroir, the results of which surpassed those of the larger area. Everyone involved immediately realised that this unique character had to be vinified and highlighted separately - this was the birth of today's cult wine Lodovico and later the Tenuta del Nicchio, which is now run by Lodovico and his daughter Sophia. SUPERIORE.DE

    "The 2021 Lodovico is a blend of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot and has an impenetrable, dark appearance. The wine is structured, with sweet tannins and plenty of rich fibres that lie densely across the palate. There is a lovely hint of nutmeg and cinnamon over the wine's finely balanced tannins. This full-bodied Tuscan red wine with plenty of black fruit promises a long drinking time." Wine Advocate

    "This Tuscan beauty displays aromas of delicate Mediterranean herbs, oak bark, liquorice root, orange leaves, cloves, sweet tobacco and restrained blackberry fruit. On the palate, it shines with slender elegance, a full body, lush tannins and a long, refreshing and integrated acidity. Lingering aftertaste of sweet tobacco. Drinkable now, but best from 2026." James Suckling

    "When he made the Masseto, his inspiration was Petrus, and for Lodovico it is Cheval Blanc, says Sophia, Lodovico Antinori's daughter. This Cabernet Franc-based blend from a north-facing single vineyard in Bibbona is only produced in the best vintages - and the 2021 is very fine indeed. It seduces with its violet and lavender-infused character of dark hedgerow berries and black cherries, with a gorgeous red cherry finish. It is lifted, vertical and savoury, a truly noble bottling with a lot of potential." Decanter
