Bonacci Bolgheri Rosso 2021

Super Tuscan’s make up some of the greatest full dry red wine on the planet, rivaling the finest from Napa and Bordeaux. The sweet spot for Super Tuscan’s is the coastal part of Tuscany called Bolgheri, home to wine giants, pinnacle red wine like Sassicaia and Ornellaia that sell for $250 to $350 a bottle. Today’s wine is a bargain from Bolgheri. Comes from the great 2021 Tuscan vintage, widely hailed as one of the finest in a generation. The Wine Spectator gave Bolgheri 99pts in 2021 making it a modern-era benchmark. The Bonacci Bolgheri Rosso 2021 gives you the opportunity to experience the greatness of Bolgheri for a fraction of the cost. Bonacci is owned by the great Brunello house Val di Suga which explains its great quality. The same team makes both wines. What’s great about a top vintage is that quality flows to all price points, which makes this even a greater buy. Lovers of Cabs, Bordeaux, big red blends, this wine is for you. Most wineries are offering 2022 and 2023. We got this straight from Tuscany for you! Taste and experience this Hillside difference.
