A grapevine in the Bolgheri area in the centre of Tuscany, Italy.

The Bolgheri wine is famous for it's delicious wine, made with grapes originating in France. The cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc are examples of grapes that excel in the sunny, dry and little windy climate of the region, in combination with the soil of the area.

Therefore the region has DOC regulations, which means Denominazione di origine controllata. The regulations require a certain standard from wines within a specific region and are there to keep the wines of that region on a high standard. It prevails the downgrade of wines from that area, by only allowing top wines to represent that area.

This picture is taken near the town of Castagneto Carducci.
