The 2013 Bolgheri Rosso Varvàra opens to a thick and masculine bouquet with dark, ripe fruit that is followed by crushed clove and cardamom. The aromas are very generous and give the wine a lasting sense of integrity and intensity. Sweet fruit flavors characterize the mouthfeel and give the wine a lingering sense of softness and richness. This is an affordable blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Petit Verdot that delivers good quality across the board.
