The 2007 Bolgheri Superiore I Castagni is a pretty wine made in an exotic, super-ripe style loaded with fruit. Silky tannins frame expressive aromatics and dense, layered fruit. This needs a few years for the French oak to integrate, but it is a terrific effort. I Castagni is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Syrah and 10% Teroldego. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022.
