TOSCANA
Aldrovandi Bolgheri Superiore is the result of a single hectare of vineyard, cultivated with bush-trained wines above the Via Bolgherese, in the Lippini area. This wine is produced exclusively in exceptional vintages, with a limited production of just 3,000 bottles. The smallest vineyard in Bolgheri, the bush-trained system, and Federico's care and craftsmanship make this wine truly exceptional—exclusive and satisfying. This wine is a piece of art.
Grape variety
Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot.
Vineyards of origin
The vineyards are located in a hilly area above Via Bolgherese, in the Lippini area, with soils that reflect the unique characteristics of the Bolgheri terroir.
Soil: Sandy-clay, alkaline, deep soil with a well-defined stony structure, often revealing fossil fragments such as small shells on the surface, reflecting the geological history of the region.
Training system: Bush-trained vines.
Season in the field: harvest is manual, only in exceptional vintage. Bush-trained vines are tended with great care to ensure the highest quality of grapes. Only the finest vintages are selected to produce this Bolgheri Superiore.
Average yield: 50 q/ha.
Vinification
The vinification of Aldrovandi Bolgheri Superiore is meticulously managed to fully express the potential of the grapes. The wine matures in carefully selected wooden barrels, imparting complexity and structure without overpowering its balance. A well-integrated wood influence adds a smoky note that enriches the finish.
Aging: aging period of 48+ months , 24 of which are spent in oak barriques.
Tasting notes
The wine displays an intense ruby red colour. On the nose, it is complex and refined, revealing pronounced aromas of black fruits and forest fruits, complemented by distinct balsamic notes and hints of Mediterranean scrub. The well-integrated wood imparts an elegant smoky note on the finish. On the palate, it is austere and fresh, showing perfect balance, with a well-structured tannic backbone and pleasing acidity. The finish is long and persistent, with returning savoury and mineral nuances.
Pairings
Ideal with game, especially wild boar and braised red meats, and excellent with hard-aged cheeses. Serve at 18°C in a large glass to promote oxygenation. Perfect also as a meditation wine.
Alcohol content and serving temperature
Alcohol content: 13,5% Vol.
Serving temperature: 16 - 18°C.
