Aia Vecchia Sor Ugo Bolgheri Superiore 2022 750ml

In the glass, the wine shows colors of red garnet accompanied by a bouquet of cherries, menthol and a hint of rosemary. On the palate, the wine is round and rich without being overpowering. It is spicy on the mid-palate and lively on the back-end, with flavors of black current, licorice and coffee, followed by a long-lasting finish that is slightly minty and boasts a juicy mouth-watering sensation.

Food Pairing - Stew, braised red meat, roasted veal, Mediterranean herbs and spices, bay leaf, rosemary, sage, ragus, polenta, truffle, goulash, thanksgiving turkey, aged pecorino.

92 Points - James Suckling

A lot of helichrysum and ripe, almost under-spirit cherries. Lifted acidity with velvety tannins, full body and a more austere finish due to the oak. Yet, it remains balanced. Drink or hold.
