La Bollina Corte Medicea Adulis Toscana Rosso 2018
- Rich, full-bodied
- Tuscany
Corte Medicea seems to keep bringing the good stuff. This is Adulis, their blend of cabernets from Tuscany. It’s rich, yet elegant, powerful, yet silky. There’s a lot going on here...fruit like blueberries, plums and raspberries. Secondary notes hint at mocha and pepper. If you’re a fan of the brighter wines of Bordeaux or the richer cabernets of Margaret River, then this’ll be right up your alley. And it certainly doesn’t hurt that Luca Maroni scored it a gaudy 98 points.

Producer
La Bollina
In the heart of Gavi lies this 120ha property. Where once resided the Marchioness Figari of Genova, the villa onsite is now a luxury hotel where you can live out your dreams of eating and drinking like Italian nobility. Planted over 25ha (the rest dedicated to golf courses and chestnut woods) are traditional grape varieties like cortese, chardonnay, barbera, dolcetto and nebbiolo. Founded in 2009, La Bollina honours the historical and rural traditions of the area, although their winemaking techniques have been completely overhauled. They now use only the best modern winemaking techniques to make the best Piedmontese wines possible.
Region
Tuscany
Ah...Tuscany. The home of rolling hills, extra virgin olive oil, Steak Florentine and, of course, Chianti. Everything here is about the earth, and it shows through in the produce. Earthy, vinous, purely rustic and unadulterated. Some of our most enjoyable experiences have come from here. They don't generally come cheap, but they're well worth it.
