Area of Production:

Bolgheri is an Italian appellation located in the Maremma on the Tuscan coast just to the south of Livorno. It is known mainly for deeply coloured, supple yet ageworthy red wines, usually based on the Bordeaux grape varieties. The winemaking zone features sloping coastal vineyards close to the Tyrrhenian Sea. The white wine grape most often used in Bolgheri Bianco is Vermentino, which may account for up to 70 percent of the wine 

Grapes:

Vermentino - Viognier is a white-wine blend, creating fresh and lively wines with plenty of aromatic personality.

Vermentino adds more floral and citrus notes along with some additional leafiness, while Viognier brings all its aromas of chamomile, lavender, thyme and even a hint of pine.

Note of Winemaker:

Torciano, takes the field at the very beginning of the pandemic, to tell to the wonderful world that exists behind the art of wine, despite the difficult moment we have and are going through, a tribute to the Knights Templar, to remember this year 2020 as a great moment for rebirth and hope for a better world for all. Bolgheri is on the golden coast of the Maremma as regards the production of wine like the Sassicaia wine.
