We desired to visit a typical Tuscan winery and see how they do it. On this tour, we got exactly that! First, they took us out to the vineyards. Then we went through the entire wine production process, and, at the end - tasting of SuperTuscan wines, which were so delicious! The atmosphere was pleasant and family-like. This is a perfect tour for wine lovers!
We had a mandatory visit to a winery of our choice on our study trip. Everything we needed to know fit into this tour. The guide was very well-informed and even had answers to our specialized questions about fermentation conditions. Very professional, well done! I tried three local wines: Papeo, Tarabuso and Aldone. They were incredible!

ARRIVAL AT THE FUSELLI FAMILY ESTATE - A TYPICAL TUSCAN ESTATE
A short drive, whether you are coming from San Guido or Bolgheri, will bring you to the Fuselli family estate. A guide will greet you at the entrance and introduce you to the estate, explaining its history, values, and production philosophy.
FIRST PART OF THE GUIDED TOUR - VINEYARDS
The lush vineyards of the Fuselli family and their Terre del Marchesato estate stretch over 16 hectares. As you walk through them, you will most directly experience the beauty of one of Italy's most fertile wine regions. Discover how the rows of vines in the vineyard are planted in the east-west direction. This is to make the best use of the flow of sea air, which has a beneficial effect on the ripening of the grapes.
EXPLORE THE WINERY AND AGING ROOM
The Bolgheri Wine tour continues in the winery - where the delicate art of winemaking takes place. Our guide will introduce you to the details of this delicate path: from the sweet grape berries and the barrels to the bottles and glasses. You will discover which advanced technique they use during the bâtonnage process.
FINALLY - WINE TASTING!
We are sure you will enjoy every sip at the end of this tour. You will be offered three types of wine tasting: Classic, with three DOC wines; Sensorial, with an Aroma Master Kit; and Premium, with "mono-varietal" red wines. A freshly prepared bruschetta with homemade olive oil will be served along with some of the best wines from this winery.

Interesting facts about the Bolgheri region and its wines
- The tradition of winemaking in Bolgheri is not ancient and goes back to the middle of the last century. Namely, there was a belief that the area had no potential for growing quality vines.
- Super Tuscan wines came about when winemakers wanted to experiment with French grape varieties they were also growing, but weren't using for Chianti. When they made the first of these wines, they turned out to be so bold and high-quality that calling them Super Tuscan felt natural.
- The territory of the Bolgheri region is relatively small, around 1500 hectares, but on such a small area, there are many different types of soils: alluvial, marine, and even volcanic.
- The wines of the Bolgheri region are known for their unique aromas of sweet, ripe, and dark fruit.
