Donna Olimpia 1898 Bolgheri Rosso is one of the winery's signature wines and carries the prestigious Bolgheri DOC designation. It is made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc – the international grape varieties that have helped make Bolgheri one of Italy's most famous regions for red wine.
Cabernet Sauvignon provides structure, dark fruit, and depth, while Merlot contributes softness and a rounder fruit character. Cabernet Franc adds aromatic finesse, and Petit Verdot provides color, spice, and further structure.
The 2024 vintage appears intense and well-balanced with a beautiful combination of dark fruit, freshness, and ripe tannins. It is a modern Bolgheri Rosso that has plenty of concentration, while maintaining balance and an elegant structure throughout.
The name Donna Olimpia 1898 has historical roots. The estate was named in 1898 in honor of Olimpia Alliata di Biserno, wife of Gherardo della Gherardesca, in connection with the couple's 25th wedding anniversary.
Bolgheri is located on the Tuscan Mediterranean coast in the province of Livorno and has developed into one of Italy's most prestigious wine regions. Unlike many other parts of Tuscany, where Sangiovese dominates, Bolgheri has achieved international fame with grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot.
The warm Mediterranean climate is combined with cooling breezes from the Tyrrhenian Sea. This provides a long and stable ripening period, allowing the grapes to achieve great aromatic maturity while preserving their freshness.
The result is the style Bolgheri has become known for: concentrated and structured red wines with ripe dark fruit, spicy nuances, and elegant tannins. Donna Olimpia 1898 Bolgheri Rosso is a classic example of this modern Tuscan style.
Nose: Intense and complex with blackberry, blueberry, and other dark berries accompanied by cinnamon, spices, chocolate, and licorice.
Palate: Full-bodied and harmonious with ripe dark fruit, blackberry, and blackcurrant. The wine has good structure, but at the same time a soft and rounded texture with ripe tannins. Chocolate, licorice, and spicy nuances provide extra depth.
Finish: Long and persistent with dark fruit, spices, licorice, and a slightly sweet fruit character. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, providing a beautiful, harmonious finish.
Best served at 16-18°C in a spacious Bordeaux glass. As a young wine, it will benefit from 30-60 minutes in a decanter so that the fruit and spicy aromas have the opportunity to open up. The combination of fruit concentration, acidity, and tannin structure also allows for further development in the bottle.
