Gerbido Bolgheri Superiore

ジェルビド ボルゲリ・スペリオーレ

Cantine Bonacchi

Cabernet Sauvignon · Merlot · Cabernet Franc · Syrah

About this wine

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.

Beginner's Note

A step up in richness from the base Rosso — approach with a decant.

Sommelier's Note

"The most ambitious wine in Cantine Bonacchi's portfolio — Gerbido's top tier shows where the estate's Bolgheri chapter is headed."

Food Pairings

Best with richer dishes: aged steak, wild game, and dishes with black truffle.

When to drink it

Fine dining, cellar-worthy gifting, celebratory dinners
