Tasting Notes: Deep ruby in color with purple highlights. On the nose, balsamic and spicy notes accompany nuances of blackberry and cherry. It is fine and complex on the palate, with good texture and dense, powerful tannins.

Winemaking: Winemaking takes place in steel vats with fermentation on the skins for about 7-10 days. Racking is then carried out, and from November aging begins in second-use French oak barriques. About a third of the wine is aged in steel to enhance its freshness. The process is conducted for the different varietals, which remain separate. During the month of May, the blend is composed, which remains in steel until bottling.

Brand Story: “The core of the collection is located in Bolgheri, where this new yet very old story begins. A story that stems precisely from the name Gaddo and aims to expound the idea of wine with a decisive yet convivial character, a true interpreter of an area and a terroir know throughout the world. The grapes of four varietals come from lowland vineyards located on the Strada Bolgherese. They have south/easy and north/west exposures.”

James Suckling: “Aromas of red berries and chocolate with hints of bark and grilled meat. Medium body with round tannins and attractive fruit. New wood shows in the finish. Try after 2026.”

Decanter: “Ripe blackcurrant with spicy, herbal nose. An ample and mouth filling wine, with ripe fruit flavours, an umami presence and toasty oak notes.”

Wine Enthusiast: “Rich but not opulent on the nose, the luxury of Bolgheri is expressed here but a crunchy, snappy freshness to the fruit and an earthy salinity hold things together for a structured, but dynamic overall feel.”
