Fornacelle is one of the 'garagistes' of Bolgheri. The vineyards were planted in 1998 and the blend of Guarda Boschi (named after the subzone it comes from) is 40% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Cabernet Franc. The 2019 vintage is really an exploit for this small family estate, displaying a kind of Pauillac austerity. Dense garnet in colour with aromas of cedar wood, leather, smoke and earthy clay minerality. It's very classic on the broad, warming palate, which is focused on complex and layered cassis fruit, with brilliant acidity and grainy tannins to the finish. There's possibly a bit of Brett here, yet there's also plenty of personality and detail.
