Part of the lowest foothills of the Metalliferous Hills, a hill chain forms a natural theatre overlooking the sea where air currents move in the best conditions possible for cultivating vine. Thanks to the protection of the north-east hill barrier, it is never too cold, and thanks to the proximity of the sea, it is never too got. These currents generate a temperature range between day and night, ideal for setting aromas and ripening the grapes to perfection.

We are located by the sea with medium-high hills. The soil has Pleistocene origins with wind and sea deposits, small presence of flysch to the east, and has a variety of different characteristics from one micro-zone to the next, a factor that contributes to making Bolgheri wines incredibly complex. The Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc vines are among the main ones grown here and have found their new splendid homeland in the region, bordered by the Bolgheri Amphitheatre. This particular inclination was also confirmed by Professor Attilio Scienza from the University of Milan who carried out a zoning study of the region. We have put some of these concepts into practice.


The Bolgheri DOC (Designation of Controlled Origin) took effect in 1984 for white and rosé wines and in 1994 for reds, thanks some local wines achieving worldwide fame. While mainly local grapes, such as Vermentino are used for white wines, for red wine production, the Bolgheri title is an exception to the traditional Tuscan overview for identifying and classifying grapevines. To be honest, even though there are some good examples of Sangiovese, it is most of all the vines of Bordeaux origin that have brought about a new variation in Bolgheri, vines that give brilliant results all over the world. Due to the combination of geographical position, climate, soil and the work of our winemakers, the Bolgheri DOC (Designation of Controlled Origin is considered one of the most original and innovative on the Italian scene.

While for white wines the majority of local vines are contemplated (especially Vermentino), for the production of red wines the Bolgheri Denomination represents an exception with respect to the traditional Tuscan ampelographic panorama.
