The 2018 Bolgheri Superiore Tam is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Cabernet Franc. The wine ferments in steel and ages in French oak for 24 months. Judging from its inky and almost impenetrable appearance, you know that you are in for a richly concentrated Tuscan red. In fact, this full-bodied wine reveals thick layers of black fruit, baked cherry and mature black plum. The nose is quite integrated, with background tones of spice and tobacco. Slightly chalky tannins are part of a generally fleshed-out and soft mouthfeel that concludes with a hint of 2018 menthol-like freshness. Production is about 5,900 bottles.
