Profile

Description

"This blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 15% Petit Verdot is a very lively Tuscan red with great intensity, precision and long-lasting flavors. The 2016 Bolgheri Rosso Volpolo is balanced and bright, with notes of blackberry, black olive, sweet spice and cigar box. The wine ages in barrique for 14 months. There is some astringency at this early stage, but the wine should smooth out nicely," from The Wine Advocate(05/2016).

Aromas and Flavours

Cherry

Fresh B.C. cherries out of the back of a truck, all eaten before you can get them home!

Black currant

Sometimes also referred to as 'cassis', this black fruit tasting note is common in red wines.

Graphite

The smell of the first day of school with your brand new freshly sharpened HB pencil.

Tobacco

The smell of a freshly rolled cigar, slightly sweet, and earthy - just like Grandpa's hugs.

Blackberry

A little sweet, a little tart, this black fruit is rather quiet but persistent.
