Tasting note:

Restrained blackberries with liquorice root, slightly leafy eucalyptus and integrated graphite. Full-bodied with elegant, velvety tannins, crisp acidity and a tight-knit structure. Power and extraction, but a good, toasty finish with a sweetish tobacco aftertaste. One of the best examples of 2022.

Podere Sapaio:

Podere Sapaio was born in 1999 in Castagneto Carducci, Bolgheri, according to the will of Massimo Piccin, a Venetian engineer driven by a great passion for wine.

With a bold and visionary decision, a former farm with just a few rows of vines is transformed into a 25-hectare vineyard spread over 16 hectares in Bolgheri and 9 hectares in Bibbona. The company produces two labels, Sapaio and Volpolo, with the aim of becoming top wines in a unique region known worldwide.
