Lungocosta is Caccia al Piano's small-production Bolgheri Bianco DOC, a blend of Vermentino and Sauvignon Blanc (roughly 70/30) rested in fine-grained oak casks and ceramic amphorae along the Bolgheri coast. The result is a white of great balance, aromatic lift, and mineral identity, shaped by the sandy, clay soils and proximity to the Tyrrhenian Sea. Its name literally means "along the coast," reflecting the estate's maritime character.
Lungocosta shows that Bolgheri's whites deserve as much attention as its famous reds — textured, saline, and genuinely distinctive.
