(Controlled Designation of Origin)

Bolgheri (Italian: [ˈbolgeri]) is a town in Castagneto Carducci, a municipality in the province of Livorno, Tuscany. First mentioned in 1075, in a papal bull by Pope Gregory VII, its name derives from Bulgari (Italian for "Bulgarians"), due to the presence of a military camp of Bulgarians, allies of the Lombards. 

Pietranova is one of our two Bolgheri Rosso wines. It is made of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot. It ages for 12 months in French oak barriques of 3rd and 4th fill. 

Black fruits, plum and vanilla emerge to the nose.

Its perfect pairings are meat dishes, like roast.
