What is this wine?
Chiappini’s Bolgheri Rosso “Ferruggini” 2022 is a vibrant, organically farmed blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot from the coastal vineyards of Bolgheri, Tuscany. The Chiappini family—based on the renowned Via Bolgherese next to estates like Ornellaia and Le Macchiole—crafts this cuvée from younger vines planted on clay and sandy soils. Vinified in stainless steel and aged briefly in neutral oak, Ferruggini captures Bolgheri’s warmth and fruit purity in an elegant, approachable style.
