The Batzella 2013 Bolgheri Rosso Peàn is darker, thicker and more concentrated than many of its peers from the same vintage. The wine opens to a deeply saturated appearance and a dark garnet hue. Wood influences have played an important role in shaping these results, as have the excellent and sunny vintage conditions of Coastal Tuscany. This blend of 70/30 Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc presents a thickly textured inner fiber that wraps thickly over the palate. This Bolgheri Rosso feels and tastes more like a Bolgheri Superiore, given its more elaborate style and approach. It ages in French barrique and tonneaux for 14 months.
