This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc was not produced in 2014. Jumping back to the 2013 Bolgheri Superiore Sapaio we get a beautiful expression that is endowed with depth, precision and nuanced complexity. The wine offers dark fruit flavors interwoven with spice, cured meat and exotic spice.

The 2012 Bolgheri Superiore Sapaio is flatter and less exciting at this time in its evolution. This Tuscan red blend shows moderate dimension, although it does deliver a good amount of black fruit, tar and spicy tobacco. There is less acidity on the close, which contributes to the one-dimensional feel of the wine.

The 2011 Bolgheri Superiore Sapaio offers lively menthol sensations with medicinal herb, ginger, rosemary and balsam. The effect is direct and makes an immediate impact. This wine ages in oak for 16 months. Consulting enologist Carlo Ferrini selects the barrels he wants to use in the final blend.

This is another beautiful wine with dark fruit, spice and savory smoke. The 2010 Bolgheri Superiore Sapaio is silky and elegant. The 2010 vintage was not as successful along the Tuscan Coast as it was in inland Tuscany (such as Montalcino or Chianti Classico), although I found this to be a very nicely aged wine overall.
