This is a big success for the difficult 2014 vintage with plenty of blackberry, currant and spice. Hints of cedar and toasted oak. Full body, tight and tannic. Needs at least three or four years to come together but a beautifully structured red..
This is a blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 20% merlot, 15% cabernet franc and 5% petit verdot.

Sondraia serves as concrete example of how a textbook Bordeaux blend can be expertly crafted from Bolgheri's terroir, creating an original and easily recognizable masterpiece.
This is a blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 20% merlot, 15% cabernet franc and 5% petit verdot.
After just a few vintages Sondraia has become a classic in the Bolgheri area, thanks to a style that seeks a powerful profile but with harmony and finesse.
Intense ruby red in colour, the nose opens with nuances of cherry and plum and deep notes of black berries, followed by aromatic herbs and a pleasant spiciness. It is elegant and seductive on the palate, revealing considerable body, great structure and balance, and silky tannins.
A natural match with char-grilled meats, particularly beef, Sondraia is also recommended with kebabs, roasted veal, pork, lamb shank, ribs or ossobuco. It is enhanced when paired with smoked ricotta cheese, Parmigiano Reggiano and medium matured sheep’s milk cheeses.
