First mentioned in the 11th century Bolgheri remained quite an anonymous wine region until 1974 in which Decanter magazine arranged the event that introduced to the world one of the future Bolgheri Superiore wines Sassicaia made of international grapes that left behind the assortment of the Bordeaux wines. Such a success made it evident that a high-standard production process in this area could give the wines comparable to renown French wines. Until that moment only white table wines and rosés had been produced here.
The success of Sassicaia motivated other winemakers to imitate the production process to get similar results and only 20 years later, in 1994 the DOC regulation was approved for these red wines giving them the acknowledgement that they deserved. Until that moment all the Bolgheri Superiore wines were sold as simple table wines. Over the last 30 years the Bolgheri wine region has become an expanded wine production area with world fame having broken the image of an unimportant area of stony and clay soils and maritime influence that was considered an obstacle for high-quality wine making. What makes these wines so particular compared to other Tuscan wines is the fact that they must be made of international grapes rather than the typical grapes of the area to be called DOC wines.
Before or after your wine tasting experience you might enjoy a walk around the village of Bolgheri with its traditional stone and brick houses, family-run shops and cute restaurants offering local specialties.
