Giovanni Chiappini 'Guado de' Gemoli' Bolgheri Superiore, Tuscany, Italy 2022

Description

From Giovanni Chiappini’s organically farmed vineyards in Bolgheri, this flagship Bolgheri Superiore is a Bordeaux-style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The 2022 shows the classic Mediterranean character of the appellation, with dark berry fruit, spice and savory complexity supported by structured tannins and freshness. 

Wine Enthusiast 93
Danielle Callegari
“A very peppery, smoky nose of grilled meat, tobacco and spices is balanced by a palate where berries, stone fruit and citrus explode into life, although that earthy, smoky, peppery heat stays firmly present right through the spicy hot finish. A savory, inviting wine.” 

Falstaff 94 
Othmar Kiem & Simon Staffler
“Powerful, bright ruby with a slight purple hue. Initially on the nose, pronounced smoky notes, followed by hints of dark redcurrant and cherry compote. Extremely juicy on the palate, lots of dark berries, then opens up with grippy tannins, unfortunately somewhat drying and brittle on the finish.”
