Bolgheri Wine Tours: Inside the World of Super Tuscan Wines
Bolgheri, a small town along the Etruscan Coast, revolutionized Italian winemaking. Here, the Super Tuscan movement began -- a bold departure from tradition that reshaped the global reputation of Italian wines.
Our Bolgheri wine tours are deeply enjoyable and give you the chance to explore both celebrated wineries and small, lesser-known producers creating truly distinctive wines.
A Wine Region Built on Innovation and Excellence
Unlike Chianti or the Lucca Hills, Bolgheri’s identity is based on Bordeaux grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, which thrive in this unique microclimate shaped by sea breezes, mineral-rich soils, and careful vineyard management.
