Pair Tuscan Wine and Fresh Seafood in Bolgheri, Italy
"A family-founded, internationally recognized Bolgheri estate run by proprietor Cinzia Merli and her sons, producing world-class reds (and one notable white) from 86 organically farmed acres. The winery rose to prominence after strong showings against top Bordeaux and Super-Tuscan labels and even earned a perfect score for a standout vintage, cementing its reputation for powerful, elegant Cabernet Franc–led wines. Though Merli is modest about her cooking, she is known to prepare excellent homemade dishes at the estate—memorable gnocchi tossed with asparagus and pancetta, risotto with zucchini and shrimp, and herb-crusted roast pork loin—and the property offers private tours and tastings that include visits to the vineyards and a sampling of the estate’s wines." - Ray Isle
