Bolgheri is located on a little
height at the end of the famous Cypresses
Boulevard that stretches from San
Guido. The village is surrounded by woods, plenty of
Mediterranean vegetation and a
well-tilled plain.
Bolgheri is linked to Castagneto,
- its borough - through "Via Bolgherese",
a wonderful boulevard become famous as the "Wine
Road" for its production of rare wines.
Through a mighty arch of a castle you will get into the old
village. Indoors, among its ancient lanes and squares, little
"shops" spring up. There you may buy the typical
products of the area and taste the natural
local speciality.
Between 1838 and 1848 Giosuè
Carducci lived in Bolgheri, chanted it in its lines
and this village became known all over the world.
