The 2013 Bolgheri Rosso does a great job of presenting this balanced vintage. The wine shows an impressive level of equilibrium and intensity with tonic fruit flavors that are tight and focused. It does not have the jammy overtones present in some of the other wines from 2013. In fact, the fruit element is full of freshness, crispness and linearity. Plump cherry is the protagonist but the wine also offers integrated tones of spice, leather and tobacco. This is a delicious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Sangiovese. 92 points

Dark, fleshy and totally seductive, the 2013 Bolgheri Rosso shows the best Maremma has to offer at this level. The cool vintage has balanced some of the usual raciness and fleshiness of this wine. There is so much to like here, including the price. 91 points
