 The Region:
Bolgheri
Suvereto Val di Cornia
To reach Bolgheri, a small village on the north coast of Tuscany, you must travel up a stunning 5km road lined by impressive cypress trees (as described by the famous Italian poet Carducci). This is where "Super Tuscan Wines" were born; the land of Sassicaia, Grattamacco and Ornellaia. Recently there has been a growth of smaller wineries making some of the world's best wines. Continuing South through beautiful countryside you reach Suvereto, a pretty medieval village whose origins date bate before 1000.Set in the fertile valley of the River Cornia, snuggled in the hills overlooking the Costa degli Etruschi, Suvereto is rich not only in art and history but in all it’s local produce and enterprises, from olive oil, cheese, wild boar delicacies and wine to farm holiday resorts and festivals.
