Podere Prospero, Bolgheri Rosso, Tuscany, Italy, 2016

Overview of the Wine
“It was love at first sight. This is a land that inspires strong emotions, a place of rebirth. At the beginning of 2000, my mother Carla, travelling with my father through the Tuscan hills, was amazed by this place, attracted by its curious way of being a world of its own, where emotions and unique memories can be experienced” – Nadia Zenato.

So it was that, in 2003, Carla Prospero bought Bolgheri, a smallholding of 3.8 hectares under Cabernet and Merlot vine and olive cultivation, located along the Via Bolgherese (the heart of the designated geographical area of origin), and decided to invest in international vines in the search for personal, authentic wines that are the most original expression of the land, the people and the vines from which they are produced.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
An intense ruby red colour, on the nose the wine’s aromas range from fruity notes of cherry and plumand spicy hints of almond shells, black pepper and nutmeg. Balsamic sensations, such as mint and eucalyptus, can be detected that recall Mediterranean shrub, ending with pleasurable hints of cocoa and tobacco. Enveloping in the mouth, almost velvety, a very pleasing taste of fresh fruitand berries is noted, wrapped in aromatic herbs, which make it flavoursome and persistent.

This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc has subdued aromas suggesting mature dark-skinned fruit and cooking spice. The dense palate evokes prune, mocha and toasted oak alongside tightly wound, rather astringent tannins.
