I Greppi Greppicaia Bolgheri Superiore 2016 is a powerful and elegant Super Tuscan from the prestigious Bolgheri DOC in Tuscany. The area is known for some of Italy’s most coveted wines. It combines international grape varieties with a unique coastal climate. The result is wines with great depth, great structure and impressive balance.

The I Greppi estate is located in the heart of Bolgheri and surrounds the beautiful Greppi Cupi Lakes. The special location close to the Mediterranean Sea provides perfect temperature conditions. The cool sea breezes help the grapes ripen slowly and maintain freshness. At the same time, the warm Tuscan sun gives the grapes concentration and aromatic depth.

The 2016 vintage is considered one of the best in Bolgheri in recent times. A mild and wet winter was followed by an early spring and a warm summer. The growing season provided optimal conditions for ripening the grapes. The harvest began with Merlot, followed by Cabernet Franc and finally Cabernet Sauvignon. This gradual harvest ensured perfectly ripe fruit for the final cuvée.

Greppicaia Bolgheri Superiore 2016 is intense and structured, yet elegant and harmonious. It combines dark fruit with spicy nuances and a nice minerality. The wine has both power and finesse and an aging potential that makes it particularly interesting for collectors and enthusiasts.
