About this wine
I Luoghi Rosso is the estate's entry-level Bolgheri DOC, made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon grown on the property's high-density vineyards in Castagneto Carducci. The grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and extended maceration of at least 24 days, followed by roughly 18 months of aging in French oak barriques. The result is a deep ruby-red wine with violet reflections, offering aromas of ripe cherry and raspberry layered with spice, vanilla, and a light toasted-wood note, backed by the vineyard's classic Bolgheri structure.
An approachable, fruit-forward introduction to Bolgheri's Cabernet Sauvignon style — well-priced for the region.
Sommelier's Note
"This is Bolgheri Cabernet Sauvignon distilled to its essence — proof that the region's entry-level wines can still show real varietal character."

カンポ・アル・フィーコ
Campo al Fico
RedCabernet Sauvignon · Cabernet Franc
Campo al Fico is I Luoghi's flagship Bolgheri Superiore, a classic Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc blend (roughly 80/20) often described as 'Sassicaia-like' for its structure and style. It shows a ruby-garnet color with dark plummy fruit, violets, aniseed, and lavender, layered with hints of truffle and tea leaf, alongside earthy, clay-driven minerality, bramble fruit, and firm, well-integrated tannins.
ポデーレ・リトルティ
Podere Ritorti
RedCabernet Sauvignon · Cabernet Franc · Merlot · Syrah
Podere Ritorti is one of I Luoghi's two Bolgheri Superiore crus, a Cabernet Sauvignon-led blend rounded out with Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Syrah from the estate's high-density plantings in Campo al Capriolo. As a Superiore, it undergoes longer aging in French oak than the estate's base Rosso, developing greater structure, depth, and aging potential while retaining the fresh, mineral-driven character typical of Bolgheri's coastal vineyards.
