Bolgheri is a coastal Tuscan region that shot to fame after a 1974 blind tasting where Sassicaia, a Bordeaux-style blend, beat top Bordeaux wines, helping launch the 'Super Tuscan' movement. Its warm, breezy, well-drained sites favor Bordeaux varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, alongside a capped amount of Sangiovese, producing rich, internationally styled reds outside Italy's traditional classifications.
