Caiarossa
Founded in 1998 in the hills of Riparbella, in the province of Pisa, Caiarossa is a 100-hectare estate with roughly 16 hectares under vine, located just outside the Bolgheri DOC boundary in the Toscana IGT zone (Tuscan coast, Val di Cecina). Since 2004 the property has been owned by the Dutch Albada Jelgersma family, also proprietors of Château Giscours, a Grand Cru Classé in Margaux, Bordeaux. Caiarossa has farmed biodynamically since its founding, has been certified organic since 2003, and achieved Demeter biodynamic certification in 2005. The estate's iron-rich, diverse soils and maritime climate support Bordeaux varieties (Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon) alongside Sangiovese, Syrah, Vermentino, Chardonnay and Viognier, producing complex, terroir-driven Super Tuscan wines such as the flagship Caiarossa blend, Pergolaia, and Aria di Caiarossa.

Castello del Terriccio
Castello del Terriccio is one of the largest wine estates in Tuscany, spanning roughly 1,500 hectares around the medieval castle ruins of Terriccio, a hamlet of Castellina Marittima in the province of Pisa. The estate sits along the northern edge of the Maremma, just north of (but outside) the Bolgheri DOC zone, so its wines are bottled as Toscana IGT rather than Bolgheri DOC. The property's documented history stretches back to 1053, passing through the Gaetani counts and the Polish Poniatowski princes before the Serafini Ferri family acquired it after World War I. Its modern reputation as a producer of world-class Super Tuscans was built by Gian Annibale Rossi di Medelana, who inherited the estate in 1975 and dedicated it to quality-focused viticulture; his nephew Vittorio Piozzo di Rosignano Rossi di Medelana has led the estate since late 2019. Of the roughly 1,500 hectares, about 65 are planted to vine and 40 to olive groves, with the Tyrrhenian Sea moderating the climate. The flagship wine is Lupicaia, a Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot blend first produced in 1993 that has earned Tre Bicchieri from Gambero Rosso and gold medals at Decanter and Mundus Vini; other key labels include Tassinaia (Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot) and the estate's namesake Syrah-based Castello del Terriccio.

Duemani
Founded in 2000 by oenologist Luca D'Attoma and Elena Celli in the small comune of Riparbella, in the hills between Castellina Marittima and the Tyrrhenian coast (province of Pisa), Duemani lies roughly 8 km north of Bolgheri, outside the Bolgheri DOC boundary. The estate farms about 12-14 hectares biodynamically (Demeter-certified since 2004), one of the earliest biodynamic pioneers in Tuscany, planted mainly to Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Merlot and Grenache at 220-300m elevation on stony, high-limestone soils. Wines are bottled under the Toscana IGT / Costa Toscana IGT designation rather than Bolgheri DOC. The flagship Suisassi, a pure Syrah, and the estate's namesake Cabernet Franc blend Duemani have earned international critical acclaim for purity, minerality and ageability. In May 2023 the estate was acquired by the Tenute del Leone Alato group, with Luca D'Attoma continuing as consulting winemaker.
