I Greppi is where sun, salt, and Super Tuscans collide. Nestled in the heart of Bolgheri—Italy’s ground zero for bold reds—this coastal estate was founded in 2001 by the Cancellieri and Landini families. In 2017, a group of wine-loving friends took the reins with one goal: elevate I Greppi to international stardom. They kept Alessandro Landini on board as a consultant and teamed up with UC Davis to stay ahead of the tech and terroir curve.Â
The estate’s 26 hectares (12 DOC-designated) lie just a whisper from the Mediterranean. The sea brings in cooling breezes that help grapes ripen slowly and evenly, while two humanmade lakes on the property fine-tune the mesoclimate and bolster biodiversity. It’s all about balance here—ripeness meets freshness, tech meets tradition, nature meets nurture.Â
Expect bold, structured wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, with organic practices and restrained yields leading the way. Greppicaia and Greppicante are the stars—full-bodied, expressive, and deeply rooted in Bolgheri’s legacy. These are wines for people who like their reds with muscle, polish, and a splash of Mediterranean charm.Â
Did you know?
Those shimmering lakes at I Greppi? They’re man-made, created to regulate vineyard temperature and boost biodiversity. Think dragonflies, frogs, and beneficial insects. This natural vibe helps create healthier vines, more balanced fruit, and—ultimately—better wine.Â
