FABIO MOTTA, BOLGHERI SUPERIORE LE GONNARE 750ML is a distinguished wine from the renowned Bolgheri region of Tuscany, Italy. It offers a complex flavor profile characterized by rich dark fruits, subtle floral notes, and hints of spices, reflecting the unique terroir of this coastal region.
This wine pairs excellently with rich dishes such as braised lamb, roasted duck, or a truffle risotto. It also complements aged cheeses, enhancing the overall dining experience with its structured tannins and elegant finish.
The Fabio Motta 2020 Bolgheri Superiore Le Gonnare is a blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine holds back just a hair in terms of structure and mouthfeel, and the bouquet is colored with black fruits, sweet cedar, spice and a touch of grilled rosemary. It shows initial restraint and needs more bottle time. This is rich on the palate, with some sanguine or rusty notes that add a touch of saltiness to the finish. Winemaking starts off in cement vats and ages in barrique (with just 25% new oak).
The early harvest seems not to have favoured the Merlot in 2020. Nevertheless, Le Gonnare confirms its trend of detailed wine, one of the garagiste of the appellation with this original blend of Merlot and Syrah. The colour is lighter compared to other Bolgheri Superiore, focused on bright and precise cherry fruit, merde de poule, a floral touch and tobacco depth. The attack is dense and smooth with graceful tannins; just a bit sticky on the finish. It needs more bottle ageing to improve the refinement of the structure, but will age well due to its cherry-fruited, biting finish.
