By Kerin O'Keefe
Made from a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, this dense wine features aromas of black plum, bell pepper, cedar, mocha and toasted oak. The palate is driven by very evident oak, chocolate, vanilla and concentrated, almost sugary, blackberry. The sweetness is broken up by an astringent, drying note of wood tannins. (5/1/2014) -87

Points: 90
Region: Tuscany
Country: Italy
Grape Variety: A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
Bright ruby. Clean, fresh, minty aromas of dark berries, violet, fresh herbs and tar. Impressively light on its feet, with lively plum and blackberry flavors supported on the back by suave tannins. The label says 14.50% alcohol but I couldn't tell. The name mosaico refers to the mosaic of grapes once used to make this wine. Ian D'Agata, December 2014"

Drink 2014 - 2020
A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the 2011 Bolgheri Rosso Mosaico is a fat and chewy wine with a luscious core of dark fruit, prune and plum. A food-pairing suggestion might be pork with braised fennel or caramelized onions. There's a point of sourness on the close that resembles bitter cherry or redcurrant.
