Who/What/How:
- Bell'Aja can be found on the Tuscan coast, bordering the Ligurian Sea. The Bolgheri region is best known for the world-famous 'Super Tuscans'. Classic Bordeaux grapes found huge success here and Bell'Aja has produced a classic in their own right!
Taste:
- The Bell'Aja Bolgheri is an expertly crafted wine. The fresh notes of red berries and plum from the Merlot, mix in with the notes of bramble, black cherry and blackcurrant from the Cabernet Sauvignon. Then, the Cabernet's varietal notes of menthol sits nicely alongside savoury notes of cedar, baking spice, cinnamon and tobacco, which have all come from 12 months in French oak. Bell'Aja's wine has body and supple tannins, but a pang of acidity on the finish to keep it feeling fresh. This Tuscan certainly is super!
