Podere Conca Bolgheri Agapanto 2022

Podere Conca’s Agapanto is a lively Bolgheri red that blends Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Ciliegiolo, bringing together the structure of the Cabernet varieties and the freshness of red-fruited Ciliegiolo. Named for the agapanthus flower—a symbol of selfless love—the wine reflects the character of a Tuscan estate centred on a 19th-century farmhouse.

Tasting Notes
Agapanto 2022 has an intense, vibrant colour and an inviting profile led by aromas of red fruit. On the palate, it is youthful, full-bodied and fresh, with a naturally supple texture and a harmonious, lingering finish. Its bright fruit and freshness make it appealing in its youth; the available information does not specify a longer ageing window.

Production
The grapes are hand-harvested, then destemmed and crushed. Fermentation takes place in concrete tanks for around 20 days, helping to draw out aroma while preserving the character of each variety. The wine is aged for 12 months in second- and third-use barrels, adding structure and integration without overwhelming its fruit. The vineyards are in Bolgheri, Tuscany; further details on the specific soils and vineyard practices are not provided.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C. Agapanto pairs well with charcuterie and cheeses, as well as red meat, pork and game. A brief decant of around 20–30 minutes can help open its aromas, though it can also be enjoyed without decanting.

Producer
Podere Conca is an agricultural estate in Bolgheri, set around a 19th-century farmhouse and olive trees. Its wines are overseen by oenologist Linda Franceschi. The estate’s Agapanto takes its name from the flower featured on its label; the 2021 vintage received recognition from James Suckling, Decanter and Italian wine organisations, though those accolades apply to that vintage rather than the 2022.
