Description
Whilst Bordeaux can lay claim to many centuries of wine-production, Bolgheri, on the western coast of Tuscany, is a “new kid on the block” by comparison. Producing wines from many of the same grape varieties as Bordeaux, namely Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, leading estates such as Tenuta San Guido and Tenuta dell’Ornellaia have in recent years begun to make significant waves in the fine wine market and captivated a new crop of Italophile wine drinkers.
Join our Wine Director, Mark Pardoe MW, for a four-course dinner that pits some of the great wines of these respective regions against one another to see which comes out on top.
