Caccia al Piano Ruit Hora Bolgheri Rosso DOC

The Caccia al Piano tenuta, or wine estate, is set into the enchanting winegrowing environment of Bolgheri, where the perfect combination of Mediterranean climate and limestone-clay soils has created a terroir ideal for yielding world-class wines. The romantic Via Bolgherese, with its vineyards and olive groves, is the background for winemaker Franco Ziliani’s new adventure in creating wines that always leave their mark.

Historic Bolgheri Rosso by Caccia al Piano takes its name from a poem by Giosuè Carducci, testifying to the sense of belonging to the territory of Castagneto, birthplace of the famous poet. A blend composed mainly of Merlot grapes to which are added Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Petit Verdot, all from the various company crus. Able to fully reveal the structure and complexity typical of the Bolgheri amphitheater, it is a wine that expresses immediate pleasantness without sacrificing excellent aging potential.
