Giovanni Chiappini 'Guado de' Gemoli' Bolgheri Superiore, Tuscany, Italy 2021

The agricultural enterprise Chiappini is in the heart of the DOC Bolgheri at Via Bolgherese, the road where the most important wine estates of the Bolgheri region are located. The story of this farm tells us about the consistently renewed family tradition of the head of the family, Giovanni Chiappini, son of farmers that had moved from Marche to the Bolgheri region in the fifties. This tradition was inherited by the two daughters Martina and Lisa who assist their father in the estate. The particular difference in the work and the growth of the Chiappini family is found in their special connection to the land , interpreted as mother earth and cultivated in a symbiosis with the working power. An alliance at all times vital and never detrimental.

"A blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Cabernet Franc and 20% Merlot, the Chiappini 2021 Bolgheri Superiore Guado de' Gemoli is a richly extracted red wine that delivers the power and focus of the vintage in full force. There's no doubting the hot-vintage ripeness of the fruit, the generous use of oak and all the other elements that give this wine such a large footprint. The character is a little old school, but the qualities of the vintage shine through nicely in this nice executed wine. The grapes are sourced from three hectares of 30-year-old vines."
