GATTABUIA BOLGHERI DOC Grapes: 70% cabernet sauvignon, 30% merlot Denomination: Bolgheri DOC Area of production: Tuscany, Bolgheri Area Bolgheri also known as the 'the golden oasis of the Maremma' is probably the most famous DOC of Maremma Tuscany, situated in the province of Livorno of Tuscany and lies roughly halfway between Livorno in the north and Grosseto in the south, just inland from the Mediterranean. The name of the DOC is also the name of the wine inspired, as it is usually the case of Tuscan famous wines, from the name of the ancient town Bolgheri , located in the town of Castagneto Carducci. It stretches between the hills and strip of sea delimited by San Vincenzo and Cecina, on that part of the Tuscan coast which was dominated by the Etruscans in ancient times, and has a very old winemaking tradition. Soil & Climate : The area is subject to Mediterranean climatic conditions, but with the influence of cooling breezes off the sea. Considerable variations between day and night temperatures ensure development and maintain acidity. A layer of clay, with sand and mud imbedded in small shards is common to this very small DOC. Some bright red sandy soil, in some places interspersed with pebbles, typically gray coloured with white veins. Winemaking: During the winemaking process we seek to assure balance, elegance, texture and length of flavor. Only the best Cabernet and Merlot grapes selected during the harvest are destined for the Gattabuia. After ripening fully, the grapes are vinified separately, undergoing prolonged temperature-controlled maceration in staineless steel tanks, with frequent pumping on a daily basis to ensure the right extraction of color, complexity and soft tannins. At the end of the year, our winemaker team decide the blend from the various lots which might differ from vintage to vintage. Once the blend is done, the wine is starting its aging in french barriques for a period of one year. Prior to bottling, the wine undergoes further refining in bottles for minimum 4 months. Tasting Notes: Scents of black cherry and coffee, with herb tones and a stylish coating of vanillin oak. Deep, full on the palate, with a core of succulent fruit, beautifully integrated tannins, and a long, complex finish. A wine created to be enjoyed with food, perfect match with red meat and game. Recommended serving temperature: 18º C. .

Livorno Shore Excursions (40 Minutes from Livorno)
Livorno Shore Excursions (40 minutes from Livorno) After the meeting under the ship we will drive to Bolgheri, passing by the Etruscan Coast.

This service is dedicated to all those people who are interested in “Wine” to understand the steps from the birth of “grapevine” up to it pouring in the glass.Castagneto Carducci … Bolgheri, cradle of Giosuè Carducci, it known in the world for his “Super Tuscans Wines” and inimitable Avenue of Cypresses. (2500!!!) Bolgheri became an internationally known region following an event in 1974 arranged by Decanter where a 6-year-old Sassicaia won over an assortment of Bordeaux wines. Prior to this, Bolgheri had been relatively anonymous producers of ordinary white wines and rosés. Due to the particular characteristics of the soil and micro climate sunny, dry and moderately windy, the grape varieties of Bordeaux origin tend to thrive, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. We will visit Bolgheri and a winery where you will enjoy a wine tasting and lunch. ( euro 25,00 p.p. To be paid on spot directly to the winery). After the wine tasting we will drive to Castagneto Carducci to see the view of the countryside and the sea..

The Meadows at nightfall sparkle with fireflies across the hills. They pulsate like thousands of flickering lighthouses. I've gone without a firefly for ten years, now, a field full of them. Somewhere above us, a Mediterranean owl swooshes, emitting cadenced hoots like a Das Boot sonar. After the sun vanishes, stone floors breathe back Its heat. Wine, cigarettes, simple food. L'ombra della sera, evening shadow, a stretched outline of a figurine of a boy, a human silhouette. His arms tightly aligned with the body, two conspicuous details: his face and genitals, an elongated silhouette, even more so than El Greco's. Fields of grass on the top of Volterra, an Etruscan forum obliterated supposedly only by members of the House of Medici, today a park: a place for fun and games of abundant youth. Olive-skinned, slender young men with bare torsos, underwear sneaking out of their shorts constrained by belts, girls in denim and bikini tops splashing around with water, playing ball, pushing and shoving, embracing, kissing, being young, carnal and passionate, they scream, shout and squeal, male hands rest on feminine hips, girls place their hands on the boys' lean hard chests in a gesture that fuses attraction and resistance. Long hair. The girl leans forward for the boy to pour cold water on this hair, the girl whinnies like a foal, thrusts her body upright setting the whole wet black mane flying towards her back, drops of water on the skin they share, dark and lustrous in the heat, the girl laughs and the boy with shaven temples traces the comer of her lips, the girl licks his finger.
