2010 Belguardo

The 2010 Tenuta Belguardo is 90-10 Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc that offers a unique bouquet with elements of eucalyptus oil, rosemary, balsamic herbs, moist earth and loads of mature blackberry. It’s a wine that, at least in the 2010 vintage, beats to its own drum thanks to those slightly green nuances. Tenuta Belguardo is the Maremma-based property of Chianti Classico icons, Filippo and Francesco Mazzei of Castello di Fonterutoli. The property is located between Grosseto and Montiano near the Parco dell’Uccellina national park, about ten kilometers from the Tyrrhenian Sea. Importer: Palm Bay International; www.palmbay.com
