DESCRIPTION:
The winery is located in the Bolgheri DOC wine region, which is one of Italy’s most esteemed denominations, about 100 km southwest of Florence, in a small area with a particularly good microclimate. The winery, Tenuta I Greppi, established in 2002 near the village of Castagneto Carducci-Bolgheri, is the result of a journey taken by two families who grew up together. The I Greppi Winery totals 25 hectares, of which 15 were recently planted with high density vineyards.
TASTING NOTES:
“The palate offers mature blackberry, dried cherry, ground pepper, espresso and anise alongside assertive, astringent tannins. The dried fruit shows the heat of the vintage.” Kerin O’Keefe ~ May 1st, 2012 *(2012 vintage, 2013 not yet rated)
