Castello di Bolgheri
bright and warm, always well-ventilated thanks to the presence of the breezes from the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is an area that has recently come to prominence in Tuscan wine compared to the historic areas of Chianti, but in just a few decades, it has managed to establish itself as one of the most prestigious terroirs in the entire peninsula. The vineyards have a south-west exposure and have been planted with a row orientation perpendicular to the coast, on medium-textured soils, composed of sands, clay, and limestone. The renovation of the facilities in 1996 also involved a radical change in the grape varieties. From the traditional Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Trebbiano, and Malvasia, it has moved to the French varieties, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah, and Petit Verdot, which fall under the Bolgheri DOC regulations.bright and warm, always well-ventilated thanks to the presence of the breezes from the Tyrrhenian Sea.
