Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: An exclusive release of 1,812 bottles, the La Madonnina 2017 Viator is all Syrah from the warm and sun-drenched coast of Tuscany. This area of Bolgheri is home to a growing number of celebrated Syrahs, and the grape continues to deliver promising results. As is the case with the other wines from this newish estate, I'm not a fan of the lavish use of oak. That said, Syrah is perhaps better positioned to withstand it, thanks to those naturally robust aromas of dark fruit, spice and bacon fat. This wine sits heavy in the glass with a dark and impenetrable appearance and offers some sweet oak flavors along with an extra dose of blackberry preserves and bitter chocolate. It's a woody Syrah to saddle up to a big flank steak over the fire.

• Wine Spectator: Rich garnet. On the nose it's open and ripe, cherry compote, rich plums and slightly peppery undertone. On the palate rich and dark fruit, slightly malty, very ripe fruit, perceptible use of wood, sweet tannins, sedate on the back palate, approachable now.

Producer Information

La Madonnina is a historic property that extends over an area of almost 50 hectares on the western side of Via Bolgherese.
It was acquired in 2014 by Konstantin Nikolaev, an entrepreneur and wine enthusiast from Moscow who chose Bolgheri’s ideal location not only for wine production but also as a place to live as he was impressed by the territory’s unique atmosphere.Currently, there are 6 hectares of vineyards with vines that are over 15 years old, planted in 2002, while the rest of the property has olive groves and 30 hectares of pine forest located in the eastern part of the “Macchia del Bruciato”; an area that preserves the territory’s rich, unaltered natural wilderness.
