Giovanni Chiappini 2008 Guado de' Gemoli Red (Bolgheri Superiore)
- Online Exclusive
A soft mineral note of polished river stone or wet granite appears at the very beginning, giving this 80-20 Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot blend a pristine, clean feel. As the wine spends more time in the glass, it delivers aromas of ripe fruit, leather and moist pipe tobacco. The mouthfeel is inky-thick and superconcentrated.
