Tenuta Le Colonne 2022 Bolgheri

Tenuta Le Colonne 2022 Bolgheri is a classic expression of the Tuscan coastal appellation combining international Bordeaux-style varieties with Mediterranean terroir. The blend is typically Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc grown on sandy, stony soils near the Tyrrhenian Sea, where warm days and cooling sea breezes help build both ripe fruit and refreshing tension. Fermentation is done with native yeasts in cement or similar vessels, and the wine is matured for about a year in French oak barrels or large unroasted casks before bottling, allowing tannins to soften and structure to develop while preserving vibrant fruit character. The result is a dry, medium-to-full-bodied Bolgheri that reflects both the warmth of the vintage and the coastal freshness of the site.

Tasting Notes:
In the glass the 2022 Bolgheri shows deep ruby red color with hints of purple. The bouquet offers intense aromas of dark fruit such as blackberry and cherry with accents of spice, vanilla, tobacco and subtle earthy or herbal notes. On the palate it is rich and balanced with firm but velvety tannins and lively acidity, delivering layered flavors of black fruit, sweet spice and gentle oak influence. The finish is long and harmonious with a polished edge that makes this wine enjoyable now with food but also capable of further development with a few years of cellaring.
