Bolgheri Bianco DOC 'Lungocosta' 2022 (750 ml.) Caccia al Piano
The 'Lungocosta' from Caccia al Piano is a Bolgheri Bianco that is born from the careful blending of Vermentino and Sauvignon Blanc. The two varieties are hand-picked at different times to achieve the best ripeness. For the Vermentino, a soft pressing of whole grapes is performed, while the Sauvignon Blanc is destemmed and cold macerated. The two varieties are aged separately for 9 months in small 10 hl barrels, tonneaux, barriques, and ceramic amphorae; after this period, the blending is done, and the Bolgheri Bianco rests for another 3 months, enhancing the freshness and aromatic qualities typical of Bolgheri white wines. Immediate pleasantness without sacrificing excellent aging potential.

THE WINE
The 'Lungocosta' by Caccia al Piano is a Bolgheri Bianco that comes from the careful blending of Vermentino and Sauvignon Blanc. The two varieties are hand-harvested at different times to achieve the best ripeness. For the Vermentino, a soft pressing of whole grapes is performed, while the Sauvignon Blanc is destemmed and cold macerated. The two varieties are aged separately for 9 months in small 10 hl barrels, tonneaux, barriques, and ceramic amphorae. After this period, blending is carried out, and the Bolgheri Bianco rests for another 3 months, enhancing the freshness and aromatic qualities typical of Bolgheri white wines. Immediate pleasantness without sacrificing excellent aging potential.
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 provides the ideal terroir for great wines. Along the picturesque Via Bolgherese, which runs between vineyards and olive trees, the winemaker Franco Ziliani has embarked on a new adventure dedicated to the production of wines that make a mark. A story that began in 2003 and is made of 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 cru: 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 vines are cultivated with a double Guyot system at 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 vineyards. About 3 hectares are reserved for 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, almost perfect balance in the relationship between 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 international-quality red wines. Caccia al Piano was born, an estate of twenty hectares in the heart of the municipality of Castagneto Carducci, one of the most prestigious areas of the entire wine-producing Tuscany. Ideal climate for vine cultivation: on one side, the continuous marine breezes coming from the Tyrrhenian coast, while on the other, the nearby mountains shield the hills from the coldest winds, leading to relaxed and elegant wines, made respectively from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
