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

The central Italian region of Tuscany is widely understood to be one of the world's most famous and highly regarded wine regions. The beautiful rolling hillsides and medieval towns and castles which are a key feature of the area are also home to many of Europe's finest wineries, and extremely high quality vineyards growing the distinctive Sangiovese and Vernaccia grape varietals which are the flavorful backbone of Tuscany's wonderful red and white wines. For almost three thousand years, this region has been recognized as an ideal home for wine production on a large scale, and the ancient Etruscans, Greeks and Romans all noticed that fine grape varietals flourished on the unique soils and under the hot sunshine which typifies the area. Today, Tuscany is home to a wide range of wines, from the traditional to the complex, but all dedicated to excellent flavors and aromas, and maintaining the region's international reputation.

Country: Italy

It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.
