Castello di Bolgheri

Hier kommt Varvàra, der überzeugende "Zweitwein" des Bolgheri-Shootingstars, der seinen Namen zu Ehren der Baroness Varvàra Wrangel trägt. Ein Wein ganz im Stil des Hauses: anspruchsvoll, warm, weich und von großer Eleganz und Raffinesse. SUPERIORE.DE

"A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, this offers aromas of violet, dark berry, leather and underbrush. On the savory palate, velvety tannins support blackberry jam, tobacco and star anise." Wine Enthusiast

"Black cherry, blackberry, cedar, iron and tobacco flavors highlight this harmonious red. Firms up, with lightly chewy tannins on the finish." Wine Spectator

"Fresh currants and herbs on the nose, following through to a full body, round and savory tannins and just hints of jam, spices and licorice. Richer style here." James Suckling

"There is a touch of extra softness and richness that reflects the warm and dry conditions of this vintage. The 2017 Bolgheri Rosso Varvàra brings plump and rich primary fruit with blackberry, black cherry or plum at the front. There is a note of sweetness here that gives the wine a very accessible and immediate personality that would work perfectly with a Tuscan wild boar sauce over tagliatelle or a simple ragù." Robert Parker

Dieser hervorragende Bolgheri Superiore wird nur in den besten Jahren erzeugt. Tiefdunkles Rubinrot, in der Nase ein reiches Fruchtkonzentrat von Kirsche, Holunderbeeren, Brombeeren und etwas Minze. Am Gaumen bereits recht geschmeidige Tannine und eine feine Säure. Im lang anhaltenden eleganten Abgang leichte Röstaromen. SUPERIORE.DE

"The vineyards of this estate face the sea with a westerly exposure, an incredibly beautiful view from the Bolgherese road on a quite calcareous soil. The style here is pretty classic, sometimes more austere as in 2006, yet balanced in this vintage. Crimson in colour, it has a restrained nose of pencil lead, pepper and chocolate over brambly fruit flavours, supported by a firm palate with structured tannins and a chalky finish." Decanter

"Made with 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Cabernet Franc, this boasts aromas of black-skinned berry, vanilla and Mediterranean brush. The juicy balanced palate doles out ripe black currant, licorice, tobacco and white pepper alongside fine-grained tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"A plush Bolgheri that shows lots of dark plums, cherry compote, vanilla and eucalyptus. Despite the initial, blockbuster impression, the palate is very polished, thanks to dialed-in tannins. Long but tangy finish." James Suckling

"This is ripe and full of plum, blackberry, leather and spice aromas and flavors. Picks up a saline element while building to a long, fresh finish. Shows fine energy and length." Wine Spectator

"Don't underestimate the intensity and generosity of the 2016 Bolgheri Superiore. The wine delivers generous tones of dark fruit, exotic spice and tobacco. On first examination, the palate appears to be more streamlined than it really is. However, it steadily takes on volume and girth as it warms in the glass, adding extra intensity and textural layering. Some 30,000 bottles were made, and this is no doubt the best Bolgheri Superiore I have yet tasted from Castello di Bolgheri." Robert Parker
