2020 Sapaio Volpolo Bolgheri 750ml
SKU #5065712
The estate Podere Sapaio was founded in 1999. Its 40 hectars are spread between the Councils of Castagneto Carducci and Bibbona. Grape varieties of Bordeaux origin -Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot-, which in the last fifty years have imposed themselves in the area, are grown in lands of quaternary deposits. Other grape varieties are present in small quantities. There are also some hectares of land, which are part of the estate, where Frantoio, Moraiolo and Leccino cultivars of olive trees are grown.

ROBERT PARKER REVIEW: The Podere Sapaio 2020 Bolgheri Rosso Volpolo (a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 15% Petit Verdot) is a terrific value with an ambitious 70,000 bottles in production. The bouquet opens carefully, first showing violet, iris root, dark cherry and potting soil. There are background tones of birchwood and cedar. I say buy this wine by the case, not the bottle.
