Discover the Birthplace of Super Tuscan Wines in our Best Super Tuscan Wine Tour
The journey into the heart of Tuscan wine-making began when a visionary wine producer from Piedmont recognized the potential of the area along the "coastal Etruscan Road," south of Livorno. The region, particularly around the medieval town of Bolgheri, quickly became a key player in the renaissance of Tuscan wines. Today, it is celebrated for producing some of the best and most exclusive Super Tuscan wines, including the renowned Sassicaia, hailed as the greatest cabernet-based wine in Italy.
Exclusive Vineyard Experiences: Wine Tasting Bolgheri
The wineries in this region are highly exclusive and typically open to the public only by appointment. Therefore, the cost of wine tastings is not included in this tour, but upon request we can arrange visits to prestigious wineries such as Ornellaia and Guado al Tasso, as well as smaller boutique producers. Tasting fees at these locations generally range from €50 to €65 per person at the Ornellaia winery, offering a unique opportunity to sample world-class wines.
Medieval Bolgheri and Local Tastings: Best Wine Tasting Bolgheri
During your visit to the medieval town of Bolgheri, surrounded by iconic cypress trees, you'll have the optional chance to taste many of the area's prestigious wines at the local enoteca (wine bar), where these exquisite wines are available by the glass. This provides a fantastic opportunity to affordably sample some of the most expensive wines.
While primarily focused on the wines, the beauty of the area, the charming hill towns like Bolgheri and Castagneto Carducci, and the intriguing Etruscan remains along the coast, make this tour a fascinating exploration for travellers seeking to discover a less touristy, yet utterly captivating, part of Italy.
