This up and coming superstar has fashioned an outstanding 1994 and an outrageously rich

The vineyard that produces the fruit used in the 2015 Bolgheri Rosso Camarcanda has more limestone than elsewhere in the area and has very white soils as a result

This moderately powerful effort is shaped by dense but fine tannins and is a wine that should amply repay extended cellaring

precise and driving medium-bodied flavors that culminate in a moderately austere and gorgeously sustained finale
