| Highest Score Review Copy | The nose is a warm and inviting summer forest, with aromas of herbs and berries tempering deeper scents of earth, mushrooms and stone. On the palate, that fresh, ripe fruitiness leads into a bright, salty, minty finish. Tannins are smooth and polished. |

| Winery Description | The Mazzei family purchased the land that became Belguardo in the mid-90’s after an extensive search for a property that provided the best expression for international and indigenous grape varieties. The estate’s hilly topography, diverse soils and proximity to the Tyrrhenian Sea, provide ideal conditions for high quality viticulture that delivers complex, concentrated wines that are still elegant and fresh. The estate’s wines quickly gained global recognition for their quality and established the outstanding potential of the Maremma region. |
