Bolgheri
Swept away to the coastal and most westerly area of Tuscany, the medieval town of Bolgheri has become synonymous with wines known as ‘Super Tuscans'. Composed of classic Bordeaux varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc (intermixed with the occasional Sangiovese), the Super Tuscans began as mere experimentation in the 1960s and 70s. These international varieties flourished in Bolgheri's warm, yet maritime climate which resulted in unexpected success and renown. It is here that one finds such famous names as Ornellaia, Tignanello and Sassicaia.There are no products in this view.
