Bertinga

2018 Toscana IGT Bertinga

Bertinga is the quintessential Super Tuscan, powerful and structured yet remarkably polished, built to age but already hard to resist young. As the estate’s “Grand Vin,” it’s the bottle that says the most about the vineyard, the vintage, and what this corner of Tuscany can really do. The single-vineyard character is what makes it so compelling. Red pepper, black olive, paprika, wild herbs, and dark red fruit all feel deeply Mediterranean, while the palate stays fresh, savoury, and beautifully focused.
