The nose is layered and expressive, with dark fruit, ripe plum, black cherry, and hints of spice, cocoa, and sweet oak.\n\nOn the palate it is full-bodied, rich, and tightly structured, with velvety tannins and a long, persistent finish. The 2019 vintage should have excellent aging potential, developing even greater complexity over the next 10–20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine comes from Bolgheri in Tuscany, a coastal terroir shaped by the meeting of sea breezes, hills, forests, and mineral-rich soils.
