About this tour

Track the evolution of Marchesale Bolgheri Superiore across four distinct vintages at this Tuscan winery. Over 75 minutes, a knowledgeable guide walks you through how vintage conditions and winemaking decisions shaped each expression, then sits you down for a comparative tasting. You'll taste how time reshapes the wine's flavour and aroma profile, vintage by vintage.

Highlights

  • Four-vintage side-by-side comparison of Marchesale
  • Learn how weather patterns influence each year's character
  • Bolgheri Superiore DOC terroir explained by professional guide

What to expect

Your guide will walk you through the story behind each vintage—the conditions that shaped the grapes, the cellar decisions that followed. You'll then taste four bottles of Marchesale side by side, noticing how one year might show bright acidity whilst another offers deeper fruit or softer tannins. Expect about 75 minutes total, with time to ask questions and understand the 'why' behind the differences. The tasting room is wheelchair accessible.
