B‑21 normally has excellent service. The shipments apparently got a little behind for the holidays in the year 2024. There were some confusion in three of my orders, but eventually this was cleared up after the new year.

2021 Castello di Bolgheri Rosso Varvara (750ml)

Cabernet Sauvignon from Bolgheri, Tuscany, Italy

B-21 Top Recommendation

As impressive as the iconic cypress-lined road leading to its cellars in the medieval village of Bolgheri, the elegant 93 pt. 2021 Castello di Bolgheri Rosso Varvara is a sultry Super Tuscan blend expressing the exceptional terroir of this historic estate, revealing layers of luscious rich dark fruit hinting of peppery spice and wild sage with elegant tannins on a long and silky finish, standing shoulder to shoulder with the region’s heavy hitters at a fraction of the price.

Considered the oldest estate in Bolgheri dating back to the 13^th century, the cellar of Castello di Bolgheri within the walls of the Bolgheri hamlet dates back to 1796, its owner Federico Zileri Dal Verme, the descendant of an uninterrupted line of royal family proprietorship, credited with transforming the estate since taking the reins in the 1990’s. Transitioning from growing local varieties of grapes to Bordeaux varietals, 30^th generation Zileri replanted the estate’s vineyards along Tuscany’s famed cypress-lined Viale dei Cipressi mainly with Cabernet Sauvignon along with Bordeaux varietals, releasing his family’s first Super Tuscan blend in 2004 while also selling grapes to the estate’s high profile neighbors Sassicaia and Ornellaia, both estates part of the family’s original holdings prior to being divided by inheritance. Situated in Tuscany’s coastal Bolgheri DOC, the Castello di Bolgheri vineyard boasts a calcareous soil of clay, sand and limestone with the rows of vines running perpendicular to the nearby Tyrrhenian Sea, benefiting from cooling marine breezes during the hot summer days and milder temperatures in winter and receiving full sun exposure for optimal ripening. A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot harvested by hand, the refined 2021 Castello di Bolgheri Rosso Varvara was aged for 12 months in a mix of 500 liter and 35 hectoliter oak barrels, described by James Suckling as boasting a “weighty core of dark berries with compact and fine tannins” and “already showing beautifully” according to Jeb Dunnuck critic Audrey Frick, its robust structure promising to evolve over the next decade and beyond.

From an outstanding vintage producing reds that “impress with stunning beauty, finesse and exceptional balance” according to Antonio Galloni of Vinous, the rich and savory 93 pt. 2021 Castello di Bolgheri Rosso Varvara is an underrated gem sourced from prime Bolgheri terroir, value priced to deliver years of pleasurable drinking for Italian wine lovers and fans of rich Super Tuscan blends.

The 2021 Bolgheri Rosso Varvàra shows inky black fruit and rich concentration with a hint of black olive or caper flower. This is another of the historic value wines of Bolgheri that is generous, thickly layered but also accessible. There is a hint of spice on the close that recalls black pepper and chili flake. The blend is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, with 90,000 bottles made.

93 points, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate (Feb 2024)

Displaying a saturated magenta/purple color, the 2021 Varvara is 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot. A lush cologne lifts from the glass, with notes of polished leather, blackcurrant, sour cherry, menthol, and rosewater. Full-bodied, it offers refined tannins, a rounded mouthfeel, and a well-balanced evenness through a rather long finish. It has a lot of elegance and is already showing beautifully. Drink 2024-2040.

93 points, Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck (Jan 2024)

This red is all about balance and texture, creating an ideal foil for its black currant, black cherry, licorice, rosemary and iron aromas and flavors. Refined tannins lend grip on the lingering aftertaste. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2025 through 2038. 6,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.

93 points, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator (Oct 2023)

This shows notes of spiced cherries, currant leaf, dark chocolate and bark. Medium- to full-bodied. This has a weighty core of dark berries with compact and fine tannins melted into the wine. Focused and lengthy. Better from 2025.
