Bianco, rosato and rosso
- Style
- These are the broad white, rosé and red categories; the specification sets composition rules for each.
Bolgheri DOC encompasses white, rosé, and red wines from the defined Castagneto Carducci area.
The name covers several regulated styles; the variety named on the label changes the grape rule.
Bolgheri’s vineyards occupy a coastal Tuscan setting sheltered by hills to the east.
A line of hills runs roughly parallel to the coast, with vineyards in the foothill belt and the Tyrrhenian Sea to the west. The specification links this setting with protection from winter cold and moderation of summer heat. Bolgheri encompasses white, rosé and red wines, so the style and grape names on a bottle are useful guides within the shared coastal origin.
Bolgheri’s grape area lies within Castagneto Carducci in Livorno province, excluding the territory west of the old Aurelia road.
