Description

Emilio Primo Rosso is the quintessential calling card of the Terre del Marchesato estate in Bolgheri. Historically the first wine to emerge from the winery in 2003, it is dedicated to the founder's grandfather, Emilio, who purchased these lands in 1954 from the legendary Marchese Incisa della Rocchetta—the visionary behind Sassicaia. This wine is a beautiful expression of the Bolgheri terroir, crafted as a classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah. By balancing the structure and depth of Cabernet with the roundness of Merlot and the spicy elegance of Syrah, the estate creates an enveloping, harmonious red with a distinctive personality. Vinified in steel and aged in French oak barriques, it offers a sophisticated profile: on the nose, it opens with intense aromas of ripe red fruits, accented by hints of vanilla, sweet spice, and a subtle, intriguing note of roasted coffee. On the palate, it is warm and full-bodied, characterized by a smooth, velvety texture and well-integrated tannins that provide excellent structure without being aggressive. Its complexity and depth make it a versatile companion for the rich, traditional cuisine of Tuscany. It is a spectacular match for robust meat dishes: think of a classic cinghiale in bianco (wild boar), a slow-cooked stracotto, or even hearty baked lasagne. For a more casual pairing, it pairs beautifully with medium-aged cheeses. Whether you are a seasoned collector looking to explore the dynamic history of the Bolgheri region or simply seeking an exceptional red for a special dinner, Emilio Primo is a testament to the passion and precision of the Fuselli family. This is not just a bottle of wine; it is a story of tradition, innovation, and an unwavering love for the Tuscan land, offering a drinking experience that is both authentic and incredibly memorable.
