Welcome to Tenuta Le Colonne in Bolgheri

Tenuta Le Colonne is nestled in Donoratico, the southernmost part of the Bolgheri appellation. This sun-drenched region, with its stunning coastal views and rows of majestic pine trees, offers a picturesque backdrop for wine lovers. The estate is strategically located just a stone's throw from the beach, making it the closest winery to the sea in the entire denomination. Spanning approximately 60 hectares, the vineyards feature renowned international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Syrah, and Merlot, alongside white grapes like Vermentino, primarily planted on sandy soils beyond the Aurelia road.

Commitment to Sustainability and Organic Practices

Bolgheri's robust terroir allows international varietals to thrive. At Tenuta Le Colonne, vineyard management is informed by years of experience in Bolgheri and beyond. The estate employs regenerative agronomic practices that prioritize soil health and vineyard balance. This commitment to sustainability has led to the entire estate receiving organic certification. In the cellar, the focus is on nurturing the wine's natural elegance and freshness. The winery opts for large 40 hl untoasted French oak barrels, and during particularly warm years, a small percentage of stalks is used in vinification to enhance complexity.

Marco gave a very good explanation of the wines and arranged a quick wine tasting. The bistro outside is also very cozy and invites you to enjoy a glass of wine. Marco was super friendly. We'll be happy to come back on our next vacation.

Passing through the region, we discovered this magnificent estate and were welcomed very warmly by Marco, the wine merchant and his charming wife! Marco provided us with detailed and precise explanations with a very appreciated tasting of your wines. In fact, we left with an order and very happy with this discovery that we highly recommend to all visitors.

We did the vertical wine tasting and Marco made the experience so wonderful. He gave us a tour of the winery and explained the process so well. He was very knowledgeable about all the wines and was extremely hospitable. We enjoyed our time there very much and would highly recommend a visit.

I had lunch today with a friend at Le Colonne estate, Elena welcomed us and was kind and professional enough to tell us the history of the estate, showed us the artisanal barrels and illustrated the different products that the estate offers. We chose the Wine & Dine tasting which included 3 wines and two dishes from the menu of our choice; everything was really excellent and the wines that were served were amazing and the oil they produce is also magnificent. We are looking forward to the opening of the new Meraviglia winery!! Thank you Elena from the bottom of my heart.
