This very large estate sprawls over a series of hills between the provinces of Pisa and Livorno, though the vineyards are officially in Pisa. Less important than the zip code is the quality: Lupicaia, a classic Bordeaux blend, has been the best wine from the Tuscan coast between the 1993 and 1998 vintages, and 1999 looks to be equally fine. Tassinaia is the estate's second wine, but in vintages like 1994 it has been close to Lupicaia in quality. Consultant Carlo Ferrini, a remarkable talent, makes the wine here.
