Superiore

2009 Bolgheri Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot

The Arnione Superiore is a captivating red wine from the esteemed Bolgheri region, showcasing a masterful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. This vintage from two thousand nine offers a full-bodied experience that immediately envelops the palate.

The fruit intensity is pronounced, featuring notes of dark berries, plum, and hints of blackcurrant that enrich the overall profile. The tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that elegantly balances the wine's exuberance. With its dry finish, the Arnione Superiore is a remarkable expression of its terroir, making it both an impressive accompaniment to rich dishes and a splendid choice for thoughtful savoring 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.
