Bosco 2015

100% Syrah only from estate vineyards made under the supervision of the new enologist and owner Filippo Calabresi who decided to drop the “Il” from the wine’s name and redesign the labels of all the estate’s wines. Two-thirds of the wine is made using the full bunches that have not been destemmed with fermentation in wooden conical trunk vats while maturation took place first for some ten months in barriques that had been used five times and then for two years in used barrels before aging in the bottle for six months.

This bottle was offered as a preview tasting and will not reach the market for another year. However, the skilled hand is already evident with an excellent management of the tannins and while the fruit may not be exuberant it is clear and fresh making this a lovely drop. For sure, this will have to be re-evaluated in a year but already it deserves a nice rating that can only increase.

Bottles produced: 13,000.
