Donna Olimpia 1898 sits in the heart of Bolgheri, a coastal stretch of Tuscany that helped redefine modern Italian wine. The estate traces back to 1898, named for Olimpia Alliata, though its current identity took shape when Guido Folonari revitalized the property in the early 2000s, building a focused, quality-driven winery with vineyards planted around a single contiguous site. About 45 hectares are under vine, dedicated to the classic Bolgheri palette of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Syrah, alongside some white varieties. Farming emphasizes balance and clean fruit, with fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks and élevage in French oak to shape polished, structured wines that reflect the region’s warm, maritime character.
