Impressive color depth, perfect expression of the characteristics of the Bolgheri region.

Definite, soft and long finish.

Reviews

Wine Advocate – “A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Chiappini Guado de’ Gemoli Bolgheri Superiore shows beautifully now but promises more good things in five to 10 years. The wine reveals an inky garnet color with thick aromas of dark fruit, plum, road tar and spice. Those smoky tarry notes fit into the wine’s thick texture and its firm structure. This Tuscan red matures in barrique for 20 months. Drink 2024-2035.” (94 Pts)
