Bolgheri is a coastal sub-region of Tuscany, Italy, and the home of the original Super Tuscans. WineFortune tracks four wines from three producers here — San Guido, Ornellaia and Grattamacco — with four wines listed in the shop and three in the price index.
The wines are still reds under the Bolgheri DOC, built chiefly on Cabernet Sauvignon with Merlot and Cabernet Franc, grown on a maritime strip between the Tyrrhenian coast and the Tuscan hills. The style is ripe, structured and long-lived, closer in shape to Bordeaux than to the inland Sangiovese heart of Tuscany.
The WineFortune index median for Bolgheri stands at €229 per 75 cl bottle, built from WineFortune's own trades and listings over 90 days. Sassicaia from Tenuta San Guido sits at €255, Ornellaia at €229 and Grattamacco Superiore at €113.67. Across 13 critics' reviews the average score is 95.8 points, with a top score of 98 points on the hundred-point scale; the critics' median drinking window runs from 2019 to 2039. The WineFortune Premium Selection holds three vintages from Bolgheri.
