Description
History
La Cipriana is a historic family-owned winery located in Castagneto Carducci, in the heart of the Bolgheri DOC appellation. Founded in 1975 by the Fabiani family, it was among the first estates in the area to bottle Bolgheri wines in the late 1970s. The vineyards lie just a few kilometres from the Tyrrhenian Sea, benefiting from maritime breezes and a Mediterranean climate ideal for producing elegant coastal Tuscan wines.
