TASTING NOTES
In 2020, the winter was mild and rainy, followed by a warm spring with regular rainfall that supported vegetative growth until flowering. The last rains before summer occurred in June, which was followed by a hot and dry season, but not excessively so. In August, there was a much-needed drop in temperature due to new rainfall, which then rose again in September to accompany the harvest. The grapes, which were carefully selected in the vineyard, underwent a vinification process in stainless steel wine vats at a controlled temperature. This process allowed for prolonged contact of the skins with the must. Malolactic fermentation occurred immediately after alcoholic fermentation, also in tanks. The wine was aged for 24 months in French oak barrels (50% new, 50% one-year old) and then for 6 months in bottles. The Bolgheri 2020 vintage wines are characterized by a well-balanced and harmonious taste, with intense and deep flavours. The tannins are already soft and not excessive, resulting in a serious red wine with a compact and fresh palate of blue fruit, berries, and hints of toasted oak, smoke, and chocolate. This full-bodied wine has a tight palate and finely crafted tannins, making it a very elegant Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot.
ORIGIN OF THE NAME
Millepassi is produced by the vineyards located in Bolgheri in Migliarini, the toponym originates from "milium" measure Roman itinerary, corresponding to a thousand steps (m 1480), and had been attributed to the farm, because it was crossed by the ancient Via Emilia.

Donna Olimpia 1898

Donna Olimpia 1898 Discover Tenuta Donna Olimpia 1898 in Tuscany and its fine wines in our online store Of ancient and noble origins, the Donna Olimpia 1898 estate was baptized in the same year in honor of Olimpia Alliata, Lady of Biserno and wife of Gherardo della Gherardesca on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of their wedding. Located in the heart of Bolgheri , in the province of Livorno, spread over 60 hectares, 45 of which are new vineyards planted following a study on clones and rootstocks. The vines planted are obviously those whose vocation has been widely demonstrated: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah and Petit Verdot; for white wines, on the other hand, Vermentino, Viognier and Petit Manseng. Gifts of a unique territory, Donna Olimpia 1898's wines are characterized by their minerality, harmonic structure and intrinsic elegance. The estate boasts a modern cellar of 5000 square meters, designed to maximize energy savings and minimize environmental impact. It is equipped with the best available production technology, but still the aging in wood takes place in French oak barriques, so traditional. The barrel room is certainly the most important and evocative environment of the entire wine estate.
