Podere 7 Sette IL SUPERBO Bolgheri Superiore 2019 DOC

When you see Bolgheri Superiore on the label, you can expect a top-tier wine, and IL SUPERBO from Podere 7 Sette is no exception. This powerful yet well-balanced wine is crafted from fully ripe Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, aged for 18 months in barriques. It's a must for fans of robust wines.

Bolgheri's strength lies in its consistency, with a climate that consistently produces exceptional wines. This wine is fully ripe, offering aromas of cassis, tobacco, leather, and a distinct vanilla flavour.

The 2019 vintage is more elegant than its predecessor, with a more restrained use of oak. It presents wonderful red berry fruit with a hint of plum. Initially subtle on the nose, it becomes much more expressive with some air. On the palate, it's very elegant, with silky tannins and juicy acidity. It's powerful, multi-layered, very balanced, and surprisingly fresh. While it's just beginning to reach its drinking maturity, it can certainly age for a decade or more.

This is not an everyday wine but a true world-class wine that's surprisingly affordable.

It's already a lot of fun to drink now, especially if you let it breathe long enough to enhance the experience.

Pair it with a perfect steak, and you'll be in for an extraordinary treat. Cheers!
