Volpolo

Podere Sapaio is an Italian wine producer located in Bolgheri, in Tuscany. The property spans 40 hectares (99 acres) of vines and it produces red wines made from Bordeaux grape varieties. The estate was founded in 1999 by Massimo Piccin, when he decided to follow his great passion that he has always carried, a love of gastronomy and wine. At the root of his love there was a strong determination and a respect for the earth and its surrounding environment. The vines were planted the following year, with the first vintage being the 2004. 

Volpolo, is the winery’s second label, it’s a Bolgheri DOC, & remaining as such to maintain the designation’s high value. This blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 15% Petit Verdot is a very lively Tuscan red with great intensity, precision and longevity.

A very fresh and enticing nose of bright blueberries, newly picked blackcurrants, crushed stones, pressed violets, dried sage, ash and cedar. Full-bodied and ever so tight with firm, polished tannins punctuated by vibrant acidity. Long and taut on the finish.
