Caccia al Piano Bolgheri Superiore 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.

It is a careful and meticulous selection of the best grapes from the San Biagio vineyard, the most important cru of the Estate and among the most suitable in the entire Bolgheri territory. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, two vines that have found in this small paradise protected by the woods the ideal conditions to express character, structure, elegance and propensity for aging. This is the identity card of Caccia al Piano Bolgheri Superiore DOC, the new excellence created by the Ziliani family.

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.

Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia Bolgheri DOC

2019, 2017, 2018

Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia Bolgheri DOC

It was in 1981 that the Marquis Lodovico Antinori, cousin of Piero Antinori, founded the Ornellaia Estate, in the heart of the Bolgheri area, a few kilometers from the Mediterranean coast. Thus, with the first harvest of 1985, what would become an icon among the SuperTuscans was born: the “Ornellaia”. With the inauguration of the company, the world-famous enologist, Michel Rolland, begins to deal with the technical part of the cellar. Subsequently, in the 90s the other two labels were born: “Le Volte” and “Le Serre Nuove”.

Crafted from the same varieties, under the same sky, from the same philosophy: Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia is a proud second vin, which has the ability to foretell the personality of the estate’s flagship wine. Together, the two wines provide their own distinctive points of view. The pleasure of sipping Le Serre Nuove dell’Ornellaia evolves over time, adding the charm of maturity to the vigour of youth.

“Elegant, excellent ageing potential and immediately pleasing, this wine elicits the surrounding Mediterranean brush on the note. The tasting experience ends with a long finish and unexpected freshness.” – Olga Fusari – Winemaker

VARIETALS
54% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot

Ornellaia is a blend of nature and musing. Complex ancient soils converse through human wisdom with a delicate microclimate that is echoed and reflected in the Mediterranean Sea. Prolonged ageing accompanies the estate’s fine wine in achieving its utmost expression, revealing finesse and generosity over time.

“Ornellaia 2018 features a lively and intense aromatic expression, a distinctive mark of the vintage.” – Olga Fusari – Winemaker

Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia Bolgheri DOC

2020

Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia Bolgheri DOC

Tenuta San Guido is the result of a very long tradition and of an ethical message handed down from generation to generation. Over the years, the dedication and commitment to the company’s activities have led to many successes: Sassicaia, in the wine sector, the Razza Dormello Olgiata, in the breeding of thoroughbred horses and the Rifugio Faunistico Padule di Bolgheri, for the protection of nature and wildlife.

Originally reserved for family and friends until 1967, Sassicaia was released on the market for the first time in 1971 with the 1968 vintage. To this day, the winemaking team remains committed to preserving the stylistic imprint that inspired the creation of this wine.

“We believe that Sassicaia is one of the greatest wine creations of the century. It also happens to be simply wonderful to drink. May it thrive through the new millennium.” – Serena Sutcliffe MW & David Peppercorn MW
