THE WINE
The 'Grottaia Rosso' by Caccia al Piano is made from carefully selected grapes, harvested separately by variety and plot. Aged in stainless steel tanks, it is a lean and lively red. The bright ruby red color announces a fresh and inviting wine. The aromas are fresh and ethereal with subtle notes of red fruits and violet. The palate describes a fresh and enticing wine, ready to drink easily and characterized by a light tannin that emphasizes its pleasant youth.
THE ESTATE
The Tenuta Caccia al Piano 1868, 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 evocative Via Bolgherese, which runs between vineyards and olive trees, winemaker Franco Ziliani has embarked on a new adventure dedicated to producing wines that leave a 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, the care for nature, the wisdom of the gesture, and the 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 the varieties Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc. The vineyards are cultivated in a double Guyot system at high density, with 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 30ha, of which 19.5ha are dedicated to vineyards. About 3ha are allocated to olive trees, which still produce high-quality oil today. The age of the vines ranges from 13 to 18 years. The viticulture employed aims to maintain an excellent "or almost" perfect balance 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 give birth to great red wines of international stature. 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 winemaking region. Ideal climate for vine cultivation: on one side, the continuous sea breezes from the Tyrrhenian coast, while on the other, the nearby mountains shelter the hills from the colder winds, leading to relaxed and elegant wines, respectively based on Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
