Barinca Bolgheri Superiore DOC 75 cl
The Barinca Bolgheri Superiore DOC from Castello di Bolgheri is among the most precise and ambitious interpretations of the appellation. As a single-varietal Cabernet Franc, this wine expresses the origin of Bolgheri from a focused perspective: limestone- and gravel-rich soils, proximity to the sea and constant air circulation create ideal conditions for slow, complete ripening. The result is a wine with clearly defined structure, pronounced aromatic depth and a remarkable balance between power, elegance and strong ageing potential over many years.
Producer: Castello di Bolgheri
Castello di Bolgheri is one of the historically significant estates of the region and is firmly rooted in the origin of the appellation. The vineyards lie in the northern part of Bolgheri along the Viale dei Cipressi and benefit from a balanced microclimate with maritime influences. These conditions favour structured, long-lived wines with clear aromatic definition. Under the leadership of Federico Zileri Dal Verme, the estate follows a consistent style: low yields, precise selection and élevage that places structure and origin at the forefront. Its top wines are produced only in suitable vintages and reflect the ambition to express Bolgheri in a nuanced, never exaggerated way.
