About Bonacchi Badesco IGT Red Blend 2018 750ML
The Bonacchi Badesco IGT 2018 opens with an inviting garnet hue and a nose that speaks to the warmth of Tuscany. Aromas of ripe black cherry, dried plum, and crushed violets mingle with hints of tobacco leaf and sun-dried herbs. On the palate, this Sangiovese-led blend delivers a generous mid-palate of dark cherry compote and blackberry, framed by well-integrated tannins and a touch of vanilla from careful oak aging. A streak of bright acidity keeps the wine lively and food-friendly, while earthy undertones of leather and Mediterranean scrub add complexity. The finish is medium-long, with lingering notes of dried cherry skin, a whisper of cocoa, and a pleasant savory minerality.
