Cavaliere Rosso di Toscana IGT – Michele Satta Bolgheri

Region

Bolgheri, Tuscany

What to expect

An elegant, rich and complex wine, with aromas of wild berries, dried roses and violets, noble woods, balsamic herbs, wild and sweet spices. A bold red wine with good structure with the presence of lots of dark red fruit on the palate.  Although it has firm tannins and pleasant acidity yet it is well balanced, fresh and very persistent on the finish which ticks all the boxes to make this an extraordinary wine.
