Giorgio Meletti Cavallari Impronte 2021 Bolgheri Rosso Superiore

A Bolgheri Rosso Superiore DOC from Giorgio Meletti Cavallari, made from Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. It ferments with native yeasts alone, then matures for 14 months in barrique and a further year in bottle. Impronte is the estate's cru, aiming for a harmony between strength and elegance. The wine is complex and full-bodied, with soft tannins, good balance and a pleasantly mineral persistence. Ripe small red fruits open the nose, followed by spice, dried fruit, liquorice and mint. It suits red meats, particularly lamb shoulder with herbs.
