Cabernet Sauvignon
Merlot
SangioveseBon à savoir
Chianti Classico et Brunello di Montalcino sont élaborés à partir du Sangiovese. Beaucoup de Super Toscans, notamment ceux du littoral autour de Bolgheri, utilisent à la place des cépages bordelais.
Sur l'étiquette
Nommé d'après le lieu. Riserva signifie que le vin a été vieilli plus longtemps.
Ce que coûte le terrain
Les vignobles les plus chers ici se trouvent en Bolgheri DOC: ≈$279,825–≈$671,580 un hectare (2024). Zone par zone
Le côté business
Tuscany's collectible tier is concentrated on the coast at Bolgheri (about 1,400 ha under the DOC) and inland at Montalcino (about 2,100 ha of Brunello vineyard). Bolgheri's economics are unusual: a young appellation (DOC 1994) built on Cabernet and Merlot, dominated by a few large estates, whose wines trade at auction alongside Bordeaux.
How the economics work
Bolgheri's top wines are made in Bordeaux-like quantities — Sassicaia and Ornellaia in the low hundreds of thousands of bottles, Masseto in about 30,000 — and sold through the Place de Bordeaux négociant system as well as Italian channels, which gives them Bordeaux's distribution and liquidity. Land in Bolgheri has appreciated from farmland prices to reported figures in the hundreds of thousands of euros per hectare in a single generation, tracking the wines' secondary-market rise.
Analyse approfondie
Montalcino
Brunello di Montalcino requires long aging (released in the fifth year after harvest), which loads the estates with working capital; the Consorzio publishes planted area and the vintage rating. Top estates such as Biondi-Santi and Soldera have a collectible following, but volumes and prices remain well below Bolgheri's leaders.
