The higher tier of the 'Gerbido' line from Cantine Bonacchi's Bolgheri estate, produced as Bolgheri Superiore DOC — a designation requiring longer minimum aging (including wood) than base Bolgheri Rosso. Built from the same core of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Syrah, it is described by the estate as offering elegance and power reflecting Tuscany's coastal terroir, with richer fruit concentration, silkier tannins, and a longer finish than the entry Rosso.
The most ambitious wine in Cantine Bonacchi's portfolio — Gerbido's top tier shows where the estate's Bolgheri chapter is headed.
