Winemakers Comments
Tenuta Le Colonne Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2016 has an intense ruby red color. The aroma is complex and elegant, with notes of ripe black fruits, such as blackberry and marasca cherry. Subtle hints of vanilla also feature. Intense on the palate, bodied yet very fresh and elegant. Excellent, mature tannins. Long finish.
