The Buyer | How Tenuta Fratini has brought an exciting new profile to Bolgheri

Alongside Bordeaux and Napa Valley, Italy’s small but mighty Bolgheri region is one of the world’s benchmark territories for red blends made from the holy trinity of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. A new addition to the Bolgheri landscape is Tenuta Fratini, a new estate set up by the family behind Tenuta Argentiera and driven by legendary oenologist Eric Boissenot – the first time he has brought his skills to the region. With Ellis Wines bringing the collection into the UK for the first time this year, Chris Wilson gets the lowdown, and discovers a collection of fresh and very stylish wines.
