Lodovico Antinori is one of the founders of the celebrated Bolgheri wines of the Maremma recognising the potential of the hills along the Tuscan Coast. Lodovico is the pinnacle of the estate, bearing his name on the bottle, and is a blend of mainly Cabernet Franc with Merlot and small quantities of Petit Verdot. A rich, powerful, opulent wine, it displays dark brooding black fruits, spices, and game. The fruit is ripe but there is a remarkable freshness for a wine so complex, pure and concentrated. Entering its drinking window this wine has a long life ahead but will be a delight right now.

The estate's 2007 Lodovico is maturing at a faster pace than I had originally envisioned. White truffles, dark red stone fruits, spices leather and the first signs of tertiary complexity all flesh out in the glass. There is plenty of detail and nuance, but I don't see things improving too much from here.Antonio Galloni1st September 2014

The 2007 Lodovico, sadly, is showing signs of Brettanomyces that proves a little too distracting. The blend here (and for the other editions of Lodovico) is mostly Cabernet Franc with Merlot (not always included), and some 10% to 15% Petit Verdot. This last variety is being used in greater percentages as we get to the newer vintages. This edition shows sour fruit notes followed by smoked bacon and Bresaola. You might still catch a glimpse of its promise, but if you have a bottle in your cellar you might already be too late.Monica Larner31st August 2018
