Bolgheri is home to some of the most exceptional and powerful wines in the world. Familiar names like Sassicaia and Ornellaia come to mind, but there is also value to be found. Podere Sette is located right in the heart of Bolgheri, less than a 10 minute drive from Sassicaia's Tenuta San Guido, and their "Il Superbo" bottling is nothing short of spectacular!
"Il Superbo" is a rockstar blend of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon that showcases the fantastic Bolgheri terroir. Incredibly aromatic with notes of fresh herbs, spice and dark fruit that lead to a flavor-bomb palate with loads of unctuous fruit and a tantalizingly complex finish.
This is a unique opportunity to get a Bolgheri rock star with massive press under $30! The value here is unheard of and everyone should grab as much as they can!
"A bend of 85% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, the Podere 7 Sette 2019 Bolgheri Superiore Il Superbo is a fun and quirky wine with a bright bouquet and lifted intensity. The aromas come right out at you with rosemary, ginger snap, dried fruit and plum. Il Superbo is rich and full-bodied, yet the tannins remain silky and polished. This wine would work next to a classic pork roast and potatoes. 8,000 bottles were released." - 93 Points Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
