In the lush setting of Bolgheri, a corner of Tuscany that
is famous for its soul-stirring scenery and high quality wines, Campo alla
Sughera, created since 2004 20 hectares of
vineyards growing Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot,
Vermentino, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay grapes.
We had the opportunity to taste both white and red wines.
