Wine Spectator

This red is all about balance and texture, creating an ideal foil for its black currant, black cherry, licorice, rosemary and iron aromas and flavors. Refined tannins lend grip on the lingering aftertaste. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2025 through 2038.

Winemaker Notes

The name Varvàra is in honor of Baroness Varvàra Wrangler, wife of Count Ugolino della Gherardesca and great-grandmother of Count Federico Zileri Dal Verme, the current owner. This wine was born from the desire to develop a more immediate product while continuing to give importance to the fruit. Blend: 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot
