A pure expression of Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2016 Bolgheri Superiore Maronea is a full-bodied Tuscan red with elongated and intense aromas of black fruit, spice, leather and tilled earth. The wine is voluptuous and generous yet also contained by a firm tannic frame. The wine ages in oak for 18 months, of which only 10% are new barrels. The results are beautiful and balanced. Some 10,000 bottles were made.
