Bolgheri Rosso DOC - Colle Massari

The Bolgheri Rosso Doc from Colle Massari in Tuscany displays a dense, ruby-red color in a swirling glass. By swirling it slightly to aerate, this red wine reveals high viscosity, evident in the coating on the glass rim. Poured into a red wine glass, this Italian red wine unfolds wonderfully expressive aromas of blueberry, blackberry, plum, and damson, rounded off with additional fruity nuances contributed by the oak aging.

Colle Massari's Bolgheri Rosso Doc impresses with its elegantly dry taste profile. It was bottled with only 0.4 grams of residual sugar. This is a true quality wine, clearly distinguished from simpler varieties, and it captivates with delicate balance despite its dryness. An excellent flavor does not necessarily require much sugar. Rich and complex, this velvety red wine presents a full-bodied palate. Thanks to its balanced fruity acidity, the Bolgheri Rosso Doc offers a velvety mouthfeel without sacrificing juicy liveliness. The finish of this youthful red wine from the Tuscany wine region, more precisely from Bolgheri DOC, is characterized by a beautiful aftertaste.

Vinification of Bolgheri Rosso Doc by Colle Massari

The foundation of the powerful Bolgheri Rosso Doc from Tuscany is made from grapes of the Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot varieties. After hand harvesting, the grapes are quickly transferred to the winery, where they are carefully selected and gently crushed. The fermentation then takes place in small wooden tanks at controlled temperatures. Following vinification, the wine undergoes several months of maturation in oak barriques. After the wine is finished, the Bolgheri Rosso Doc is carefully harmonized.
