Bolgheri

We have reached the end of the year, time for rankings!

For Vino.com, the denomination of the year is Bolgheri. A DOC wine of Tuscany, it is produced exclusively in the Bolgheri area, along the Livorno coast, from grapes that mainly include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and, for whites, varieties such as Vermentino, Sauvignon, and Viognier, as specified by the regulations.

The peculiarity of production in the Bolgheri territory lies in its Mediterranean climate, proximity to the sea, and varied soils that contribute to giving the wines elegance, structure, and great aging potential.

This results in wines of intense and deep color, which on the nose express notes of ripe black fruits, sweet spices, Mediterranean herbs, and, in whites, citrus and floral aromas. The reds are distinguished by balance, softness, and longevity; the whites by freshness, sapidity, and a fine aromatic profile; the rosés by delicacy and drinkability. Their characteristics make them ideal for pairing with structured first and second courses, grilled meats, cheeses, and more flavorful fish preparations in the case of whites.

The main types of the Bolgheri denomination DOC:

Bolgheri Rosso DOC – based on international grape varieties, structured, elegant, and long-lived.
Bolgheri Rosso Superiore DOC – more complex version, with longer aging.
Bolgheri Bianco DOC – fresh, savory, citrus and floral aromas.
Bolgheri Rosato DOC – light, fruity, and highly enjoyable.

The Bolgheri denomination may include further specifications according to the production choices of individual wineries and the characteristics of the grapes used.
