The Super Tuscan category has emerged as one of the strongest-performing sectors in fine wine — and few estates define that success more clearly than Ornellaia and Masseto.
In this episode, Jane sits down with Marco Balsimelli, Production Director of these legendary Super Tuscans, to explore what makes Bolgheri one of the most compelling regions in the world today.
From his years in Bordeaux working alongside Eric Boissenot to returning home to Tuscany, Marco shares the emotion, responsibility, and vision behind leading two of Italy’s most iconic estates.
For collectors, sommeliers, and wine lovers alike, this is a rare inside look at how Italy’s most celebrated wines continue to evolve.
