THE WINE
Ruit Hora by Caccia al Piano has represented for over a decade one of the most brilliant examples of Bolgheri. Harmonious and balanced, this red is capable of playing its cards on particularly elegant and graceful notes.

Ideal for accompanying great meat preparations.
Ruit Hora or "the hour that flees" is a tribute to the Odi Barbare by Giosuè Carducci.
THE ESTATE
The Tenuta Caccia al Piano, formerly a hunting estate of the noble Della Gherardesca family, is immersed in the enchanting territory of Bolgheri. Here, the perfect combination of Mediterranean microclimate and clay/calcareous soils gives the ideal terroir for great wines. Along the picturesque Via Bolgherese, which runs between vineyards and olive trees, winemaker Franco Ziliani began a new adventure dedicated to producing wines that leave their mark. A story that began in 2003, filled with passionate commitment that transforms, harvest after harvest, into fragrant, full-bodied, and elegant nectars.
THE VINES
In the land that inspired the poet Giosuè Carducci, care for nature, the wisdom of the gesture, and love for knowledge mark the time and shape the landscape. The Caccia al Piano 1868 vineyards cover 19.5 hectares and are divided into three crus: Caccia al Piano, Le Grottine, and San Biagio. The exposure of the rows and the characteristics of the natural environment allow for the best expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc varieties. The vines are cultivated in a double Guyot system with high density, 9000/10000 plants per hectare, and are managed according to the strict rules of sustainable viticulture. The harvest is exclusively manual. The cultivated area is entirely located in the municipality of Castagneto Carducci and extends over an area of about 30 hectares, of which 19.5 hectares are dedicated to the vineyard. About 3 hectares are allocated to olive trees, which still produce high-quality oil today. The age of the vines varies from 13 to 18 years. The viticulture used aims to maintain an excellent balance, "or almost," of the relationship between the root system, leaf surface, and number of clusters.
THE COMPANY
It was the late nineties when Guido Berlucchi identified, not far from Bolgheri, the ideal place to bring to life great red wines of international caliber. Caccia al Piano was born, an estate of twenty hectares in the heart of the municipality of Castagneto Carducci, one of the most prestigious places in all of Tuscany’s wine region. The ideal climate for grape cultivation: on one side, the continuous sea breezes coming from the Tyrrhenian coast, while on the other, the nearby mountains shield the hills from the colder winds, resulting in relaxed and elegant wines, respectively based on Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
