We just arrived from our two week vacation and this was one of the highlights of our trip. We were looking forward to it and we were not disappointed. We happened to be the only people on this tour so we had Serena’s undivided attention! She is so down to earth, very informative and made us appreciate Bolgheri and the region’s wines even more. The grounds were immaculate and she was generous with the tastings (I lost count) that was paired with bread and their amazing olive oil. We prefer red over white but both were so good we bought several bottles of both. I researched a while before deciding on Terre del Marchesato and we can’t wait to go back! Thank you Serena!

We have found the Batzella Winery by chance, but the decision we made to visit this place was really worth it. If you don’t want to visit the big wineries but still enjoy the characters and personality of the Bolgheri wines - this place is for you. I can’t but say only good words about the family and the winery. Mr. Batzella turned up to be a nice and pleasant man who also speaks fluent English which was a good point for us. The tour was beautiful, from the vines to the cellar, to the fermentation tanks and warehouse. We learned how the Bolgheri region originally started to be a wine region, what is the modern trends in the Tuscany winemaking and also the unique story of Mr. Batzella himself. In the end of the excursion we tried some really nice wines, from which we personally liked the Tâm - a really passionate wine that truly accords with its name. Thank you very much once again and wish you only a great success for you, your wife and son in the future! By the way, missing your dog also, she was a funny tip in our trip! Best of luck!

6. Chiappini Winery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 67 reviews
The agricultural enterprise Giovanni Chiappini is situated in the heart of the DOC Bolgheri at the Via Bolgherese, the road where the most important wine estates of the Bolgheri region are located. The particular difference in the work and the growth of the Chiappini family is found in their special connection to the soil,interpreted as mother earth and cultivated in a symbiosis with the workers.

It starts with a scenic drive to the Chiappini Winery. The modern winery was built in 2014 and looks like it is brand new. The tasting room and views are breath-taking. A circular stairway can take you up to the crow's nest that provides views of the vineyard or take the steps downstairs to the state of the art wine making processes. The wine is delicious and they will ship it to you, so you don't have to lug it home, but don't forget to get a few bottles to enjoy while you are on vacation. I highly recommend the Chiappini Winery!
