Cipriana Bolgheri Rosso 2020

Drink it now or cellar for up to 8 years. No need to decant it but best to open it half an hour before service.

Located on the slopes of the beautiful village of Castagneto Carducci, La Cipriana is a historic winery in the Bolgheri area. The company, owned by the Fabiani brothers, covers about 8 hectares of vineyards with an average age of 10 years and a planting density of between 5,000 and 6,000 plants per hectare. In addition to the vineyards, the property also owns 3 hectares of olive groves, which include numerous centuries-old trees. The company cellar is entirely underground to guarantee an optimal temperature for the vinification and aging operations.

The Bolgheri Rosso from the La Cipriana winery is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah. The fermentation, which takes place in concrete tanks at a controlled temperature for about two weeks, is followed by 10 days of maceration on the skins. The wine is then aged in barrique.

The wine shows a brilliant ruby red color with purplish hints. The elegant nose reveals hints of blackberry and small berries, followed by some notes of tobacco. On the palate, it is well structured, soft, and persistent with round tannins. Have it with a rib eye steak, a lasagna Bolognese, or a mushroom pie.
