"Terre dei Ghelfi" is a farm with vineyards, olive groves and a Country Resort. The company is located in the heart of Tuscany, in Castagneto Carducci, near Bolgheri, in the northern part of the Maremma. The sea, which is only 5 km away, and the constant wind, contribute to creating a microclimate unique in the world.
"Terre dei Ghelfi" produces elegant wines with great personality, whose aromas and taste are the result of the combination of the particular microclimate and the ecological and quality policy of the farm. The vineyards, over 20 years old, are composed of old strains of Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, which have their roots in a soil with marine waters. The breeze of the sea winds Tyrrhenian, light and saline, refreshes the grape clusters that ripen slowly under the summer sun.
The wine is aged in French oak barrels, as well as in beautiful terracotta jars. Bottling takes place a year later, then refining for at least 6 months in the bottle.
With an intense and deep coral red, this Bolgheri is expressed
by typical notes of Syrah, with aromas of small berries and Mediterranean scrub. The Cabernet gives it spicy notes, liquorice and cocoa.
On the palate, it is characterized by a dense tannic texture, with a
frank and exuberant attack, to end with a fresh and vibrant finish.
This wine pairs well with Tuscan dishes and international cuisine: bread and oil, pecorino, tasty cold cuts, legumes, soups. It is perfect with pasta with tomato sauce, lasagna, creamy risottos, grilled meats and cheeses.
