I Luoghi Bolgheri Superiore 'Podere Ritorti' 2016 skus_5576641 The long growing season ofPodere Ritorti, the second wine of I Luoghi, is a blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon (80%) with 15% Cabernet Franc and a dash of Merlot and Syrah. In 2017, 'the sum of tannin and acidity was difficult to manage,' according to owner Stefano Granata. The wine is full of intensity and complexity with restrained cassis, ash, and balsamic minerality in depth. Clean and rich chocolatey flavours characterise the palate, joined by a sweeter cherry profile.
