Bocelli 1831
Tuscany, Veneto - Italy
The Winery
For almost 200 years, the Bocelli family has crafted artisanal wines on their small single estate in Lajatico, a quintessential Tuscan town near Volterra. The family’s 20 hectares of vineyards sit perched on a ridge between two wide, meandering rivers and are surrounded by medieval forests. A short walk down the road is the Officine Bocelli, the sleek wine bar designed by Alberto Bocelli which also doubles as an art museum. And on the far side of their village, the windswept Teatro di Silencio (the Theatre of Silence) waits on its ancient hillside for the single day each summer when Andrea returns to perform in his hometown. Visiting the historic Bocelli estate for the first time, one can’t help but be struck by its pastoral beauty, and by the humble, countryside origins of a talent now famous across the globe.
More recently, and in close concert with Zonin 1821 - one of the best-known and longest-standing names in Italian wine - the Bocelli's have also begun creating a global brand of affordable, earth-friendly classics. True to form, these collaborative wines remain rooted in eco-forward farming, which has long been a priority for Andrea and his family. Says the tenor, "I refuse to compromise on quality, authenticity, or sustainability." Moreover, the smooth and easy drinkability of the wines speaks to the family’s desire to reach a wide, everyday audience. The Prosecco, for example, has an inviting, expressive nose and a balanced, playful palate… and the Rosso Toscana, with its cherry cobbler fruit and integrated tannins, has something to offer most everyone. Poured across the globe and of course at their own country table, the Bocelli 1831 wines were designed to “be uncorked with joy and ease.”

Bianco Toscana IGT
Straight from the sun-drenched hills of southern Tuscany, this light, unoaked white from Bocelli 1831 was designed to “be uncorked with joy and ease.” Combining the warm citrus of Vermentino with the richness and complexity of Viognier, it has an effortless, everyday quality in the glass. Behind all the fruit - which includes layers of apricot, orange sherbet, and melon - there are hints of fresh herbs and a stony minerality to be discovered. Enjoy with light, summertime pasta or an array of fine cheese. 91 pts JS
