The 2014 Bolgheri Rosso exhibits ripe fruit and jammy cherry notes that come as a surprise, given the cooler vintage. The wine is redolent of pressed blackberry and dark fruit with rose petal and lavender at the back. In the mouth, this blend of 60% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot is thinner and more prickly. It offers an odd contrast between mature fruit on the nose and thorny bramble in the mouth. Some 100,000 bottles are produced.
