Bolgheri: some of the most famous wines in the world are born in this area. The intuition of the Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta that even in 1944 planted in Castiglioncello of Bolgheri, in Tenuta San Guido, about one hectare of cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc, has shown over the years, all his merits. Sassicaia has become, since the ’70s, a true legend, one of the best Italian wines for aging, able to amaze after long stays in the bottle. The phenomenon has not been isolated. Are about fifty producers who now have wines of great breed and there are many varieties that are showing their perfect adaptation to the area. From the syrah merlot, petit verdot from the sangiovese, grapes transformed into wine talk of that magical mix of factors that untranslatable French word “terroir” wants to express.
