THE STORY

About this wine

Dry, medium- to full-bodied Bolgheri Rosso at 14.5% abv — 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 10% Petit Verdot. Cherry and blackcurrant out front, Mediterranean scrub and savory spice behind, a graphite edge, firm polished tannins underneath, citrus lift into a long finish.

Donne Fittipaldi’s Bolgheri Rosso is the estate’s youngest red wine and an everyday expression of Bolgheri. The 2021 release was made by Azienda Agricola Donne Fittipaldi, owned by the Fittipaldi Menarini family; enologist Emiliano Falsini. Approximately 50,000 bottles were produced.

Worth knowing

The youth of the lineup. 'Dame' is the youngest red the Donne Fittipaldi estate makes, and the 2021 is distinctly meaty, red-fruited and floral — camellia, Mediterranean scrub and chinotto are among its signatures.

CHARACTERISTICS AND TASTING TIPS OF THE Fittipaldi 'Dame' Bolgheri Rosso 2021

Tasting

Color: Intense ruby red in the glass.
Nose: Cherry, blackcurrant and spice lead, with a graphite edge underneath. The 2021 brings more — camellia among its red flowers, Mediterranean scrub, chinotto, blackberry and dark cherry, then leather and a hint of vanilla.
Palate: Fresh and harmonious, medium- to full-bodied and meaty. The tannins start round and silky, then firm up without turning chewy — citrus and savory notes lift it, a polished frame carries good depth, and the finish runs long and velvety.

Pairs Beautifully With

A must try with grilled or roasted red meats
A must try with medium- to aged cheeses
A must try with hearty local fish dishes
