Located in Bolgheri on the Tuscan coast, Caccia al Piano produces Mediterranean wines shaped by sea breezes, generous sunshine and well-drained coastal soils. Acquired by the Ziliani family in 2003, the estate focuses on Bordeaux varieties and expressive whites that reflect the elegance and energy of this distinctive appellation.

The Estate

Caccia al Piano extends over 30 hectares, with 23 hectares planted to vine. Since acquiring the property, the Ziliani family has invested in both vineyard management and cellar precision, including a major winery renovation completed in 2014. The goal is to produce wines with structure, freshness and a clear Bolgheri identity.

Vineyards and Terroir

The estate is divided into four main vineyard sites: San Biagio, Grottine, Cantina and Le Bozze. Each parcel offers a different combination of altitude, exposure and soil, ranging from limestone-rich clay to sandy coastal deposits. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot thrive here, while Vermentino and Sauvignon Blanc benefit from the cooling influence of the sea.

Winemaking

Winemaking combines careful selection in the vineyard with modern cellar practices. Red varieties are vinified to preserve depth, structure and aromatic precision, while ageing is managed to support the fruit without overwhelming it. The whites are handled with a focus on freshness, texture and clarity.

Wine Style

The reds are polished and structured, with dark fruit, Mediterranean herbs, spice and fine tannins. The whites are fresh and aromatic, showing citrus, stone fruit and coastal lift. Across the range, the wines combine Tuscan warmth with the balance and freshness typical of Bolgheri.
