Description
What kind of wine it is
Le Bozze Vermentino by Caccia al Piano is a still white wine that precisely captures the essence of the grape variety. It expresses itself through a fresh aromatic profile, characterised by notes of citrus, white flowers and delicate hints of Mediterranean scrub. On the palate, it is direct and slightly spicy, standing out for its elegant development and clean finish. Its pronounced drinkability makes it ideal for accompanying various dishes, proving excellent when paired with lean fish dishes and delicate cheeses.
Where it comes from
This Vermentino comes from the Tuscan Coast, particularly from the Bolgheri area, a region where the Caccia al Piano winery has its roots. The geographical origin gives this white wine a distinct identity, enhancing the natural qualities of grapes ripened close to the sea. The environmental conditions ensure a distinctive gustatory tension, offering a modern interpretation that combines drinking pleasure with a deep connection to the land.
How it is produced
Production begins with the manual harvesting of the grapes, carried out carefully to preserve their integrity. The whole bunches are gently pressed, followed by the transfer of the must into stainless steel tanks, where fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature for about two weeks. Ageing continues for four months on the fine lees, during which periodic stirring of the yeasts imparts balance and structure to the wine before the final blending stage.
History and Curiosities
Signed Caccia al Piano 1868, the Le Bozze Vermentino 2024 is an authentic and elegant expression of the Tuscan Coast. This pure white wine is made from hand-picked grapes in Bolgheri and undergoes gentle pressing. Fermentation in steel is followed by four months of ageing on the fine lees with regular stirring, a technique that enhances its structure. The result is a wine with a fresh and spicy character, featuring aromas of citrus fruits and Mediterranean scrub. The floral label pays tribute to the region, anticipating a direct sip with a profound identity.

This idea, which culminated with purchasing the Caccia al Piano estate in 2003, came across after visiting the San Biagio vineyard. This marvellous area enjoys a privileged position in the Bolgheri area and a fascinating view of the sea.
Since the beginning, Franco Ziliani's work was driven by the desire to patiently understand the terroir of Bolgheri, respecting what has already been done by the great protagonists who have made the wine of these lands famous. Today, the company is carried on by his children Cristina, Arturo and Paolo.
The Caccia al Piano estate is located in Castagneto Carducci in the town of Bolgheri and was created from the renovation of an ancient hunting estate owned by the noble Della Gherardesca family, dating back to 1868. Thanks to careful redevelopment work in full respect of the surrounding land, the farmhouse has been enlarged and transformed into the current headquarters of the winery. Read more
