Wine Description

The Podere Prospero Bolgheri DOC is an elegant, balanced, and highly approachable wine. Meticulous work in the vineyards makes for healthy, immaculate fruit in the cellar where vinification is carried out using traditional methods. The winemaking here is thoughtful and respectful of the grape’s vintage-driven character.

“The nose has a fresh, concentrated floral quality at first, but weighty, almost earthy sanguinity soon emerges to create an overall metallic, warm feel. The equally nuanced palate brings more earth, but also fruit, pepper and a slightly bitter, herbal quality. Bright acid glints off soft, polished tannins like firelight off a velvet jacket.” — Wine Enthusiast, Apr 2024
