Also a deep, transparent red, the 2020 Le Gonnare is 85% Merlot and 15% Syrah and has a great nose of pure red plum, olive, roses, and fresh soil. Full-bodied but elegant, it offers notes of mole on the palate and is gripping in structure, with ample freshness and an iron-rich mineral texture. This is another wine that I expect to do superbly well over time. Drink 2024-2044. ... More details

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).

Attractive nose of chocolate, cherries, currants, dried flowers and bay leaves. Chewy and full-bodied, lightly leafy, with firm but well-integrated tannins. Beautiful balance. Drink or hold.

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.

Region: Tuscany

Tuscany has been producing fine wines for almost three thousand years, and as such is widely recognized as being one of the key Old World wine regions which have shaped the way we understand and enjoy quality wines throughout history. Interestingly, the region is typified by a unique soil type which is not particularly good for growing grapevines, but in Tuscany, the emphasis has always been on quality over quantity, and low yields with high levels of flavor and intensity are preferred, and have become a feature of the region's wine industry. The main grape varietals grown in Tuscany are Sangiovese for the distinctive, flavorful and complex red wines, and Vernaccia for the exquisite dry white wines, although the last couple of decades have seen more varietals grown and an increasing trend towards 'Bordeaux style' wines.

Country: Italy

For several decades in the mid to late twentieth century, Italy's reputation for quality wines took a fairly serious blow. This was brought about partly due to lack of regulation in certain regions, and too much regulation in others. This led to several wineries in the beautiful and highly fertile region of Tuscany making the bold move to work outside of the law, which they saw as responsible for the drop in quality in Tuscan wines. They believed that they had the expertise and the generations of experience necessary with which to make truly excellent, world class wines, and set about doing just that. These 'Super Tuscans', as they came to be known, quickly inspired the rest of Italy to improve their produce, and now, Italian wine producers in the twenty-first century are widely recognised to be amongst the best in the world. Regulation and law began to change, and wine drinkers across the globe woke up to the outstanding wines coming out of Italy, which are continuing to improve and impress to this day.
