Bolgheri Denominazione Di Origine Controllata Superiore

1997 Bolgheri Red Blend

The Antinori Bolgheri Denominazione di Origine Controllata Superiore is a stunning red blend from the prestigious Bolgheri region, renowned for its exceptional terroir that nurtures grapes to perfection. This vintage delivers a full-bodied experience, characterized by high acidity that brings a bright liveliness to the palate. The interplay of prominent fruit intensity, highlighted by blackcurrant and dark cherry notes, creates a rich and inviting flavor profile. Tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that beautifully supports the wine's complexity. As a dry wine, it artfully balances fruit-forward characteristics with a savory depth, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.

Italy's rich food and wine heritage is nowhere better demonstrated than historic Tuscany. You can eat and drink like a king here—ideally on a grand terrazza overlooking medieval hillsides strewn with olive and cypress trees. From mouthwatering whites for sipping with antipasti, to sophisticated reds that elevate the meat dishes of Florence (and of course leaving room for sweet Vin Santo with dessert), Tuscany has it all. Sangiovese is the region's star grape, giving us not just Chianti, but also Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and the epic Super Tuscan blends.
