The Wine Advocate, 92p
The 2018 Bolgheri Rosso Villa Donoratico comes from the middle of the estate portfolio. It offers good value and a little more heft and fruit concentration. This wine would enhance a plate of fried chicken or a grilled filet mignon, either way. The blend is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, all aged in oak for one year. The tannins are well managed and elegant. The wine hits the senses with bold cherry, cassis, spice and campfire ash.
