Bolgheri and coastal wines
Break away to the Tuscan coast and indulge in the wide range of Tuscan wines. Taste the fullness and flavor of the sweet Mediterranean breeze in a glass of Bolgheri, Sassicaia or another one of Tuscany’s world class coastal wines. Every serious wine buff knows the name of Bolgheri, largely due to the fact that it is where the first of the internationally famous ‘Super Tuscans’, Sassicaia, was produced. A bijou town approached via a spectacular avenue of cypress trees, it is dominated by a storybook-style castle.
The area of Bolgheri is characterised by extensive vineyard and olive tree cultivations. Castagneto Carducci, a lovely medieval hamlet, is the largest town in the area. The wine region has gained the DOC appellation in 1995.
From internationally acclaimed wineries that export their products around the world to small, family run vineyards that sell to the local restaurant, there is something for everyone along the gorgeous Tuscan Coast.
