Zuccardi Emma Bonarda 2022

Description

Score: 95 James Suckling

Emma Zuccardi, Sebastián's grandmother, is a charming and sophisticated woman, creative and stylish. This wine is a fitting tribute to her personality.

"This is a serious Bonarda that shows plenty of fresh black cherries, black plums, white pepper, herbs, and terracotta tiles. A true concentration of fruit built on the freshness of the wines. Really juicy, full-bodied, and long, with silky yet fresh tannins. 100% Bonarda from Paraje Altamira and San Pablo. Ready to drink or age." – James Suckling
