First, if you haven\\u2019t checked out my new site \\u2013 shout out to Polly Hammond, my dear friend and a complete rockstar at www.5forests.com!

This time, we decided to do this show as a good set up for next week\\u2019s show with Stefania Fuselli, one of the sisters who runs\\xa0Le Vigne di Silvia, an outstanding family winery that the Patrons and I visited while in Bolgheri. I am so excited to share that winery with you, but I felt it would be a better experience if we first explained what Bolgheri is, since as MC Ice points out, it\\u2019s still a little obscure to many people.

The bottom line: Bolgheri is the birthplace of the \\u2018Super Tuscan\\u2019 movement

Bolgheri is a small DOC on the Tuscan coast in the province of Livorno, where the hills taper off to the sea. Bolgheri itself is a tiny village (blink and you may miss it!), famed for a cypress-lined avenue that is one of the most photographed sites in Italy! Bolgheri is home to the OG \\u201cSuper Tuscan\\u201d wine \\u2013 Sassicaia (Tenuta San Guido), which now has its own DOC \\u2013 Bolgheri Sassicaia (the only monopole in Italy).
