A saturated red/magenta color, the 2021 Greppicante is ripe with aromas of black olive, cassis, sandalwood, and toasted rosemary. Fleshy and full-bodied, it expands on the palate, with ripe tannins and fresh acidity. A noble and very serious Rosso structured for the long haul, I would hold this one a couple of years and drink 2025-2040, as its tannins are really holding on at this stage.

Blackcurrant and rose petal with some lavender and sage flower undertones. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins that are polished and beautiful. Orange peel undertone. Subtle and refined. Very drinkable but better in 2023.

This 2021 I Greppi Bolgheri Rosso Greppicante has a youthful, vivid ruby color. The nose is still a little unformed, hesitating between smoky, bitter cherry, flint and oak spice. There’s a very elegant weight and texture on the palate and it flows beautifully without feeling heavy or over extracted. There is just a lovely ease about this wine that is punctuated by slightly sharp, tart cherry flavors and bitter cherry notes. The tannins are elegant and there is a vivid thread of acidity running through it. This is a tasty, sappy lively, wine of elegant proportions with a lovely, lingering finish.
