The Chiappini family are truly one of the Bolgheri region’s best kept secrets! They are a small, family wine business, 100% organic, producing top quality red and white wines at a fraction of the price of some of their more illustrious neighbours. The location of their vineyards is impeccable: directly next to Ornellaia and opposite Le Macchiole!
Chiappini’s flagship wine gives the real taste of Bolgheri at a fraction of the price of other “super-Tuscans” from the warm, high quality 2017 vintage! It is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Merlot with layer upon layer of ripe, luscious dark fruit flavours, silky smooth tannins and gentle notes of vanilla and spice. Complex, rich and full bodied, it hides its 15% alcohol brilliantly. Drink 2021-2033.
“Opening to a darkly enriched appearance, the 2017 Bolgheri Superiore Guado de’ Gemoli is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (70%), Cabernet Franc (20%) and Merlot (10%). Giovanni Chiappini is an estate with moments of inspiration and other moments of lessened consistency. The wines tend to be very vintage-sensitive. However, this wine from the hot and dry 2017 growing season nails it on the head. There is bold intensity for sure, but the fruit is not too heavy or overripe. The oak tones are dry and not very evident, but they are, for the most part, folded into the wine’s generous texture. About 8,000 bottles were released.” 93pts The Wine Advocate
