Full body, ultra-fine and silky tannins and a soft and fruity finish. Ripe and balanced with beautiful fruit and freshness. A wine with style and beauty. A tiny-production, single-vineyard red made from cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and petit verdot. Better in 2017.

The 2012 Bolgheri Superiore l'Alberello is an absolute beauty that shows the defining characteristics of this special estate located in one of the most beautiful parts of the appellation. This is a full force wine with elegant lines. In other words, it offers the best of both worlds in that it shows thickness and brawn, but it never goes over the top. The finish is smooth and seamless with dark fruit, pressed cherry, spice and leather. - Monica Larner
