- And he loved them?
- Yes.
:50:04
They were his passion.
:50:06
A passion that he passed on
to his children.
:50:10
There are no "Supertuscans".
Only global wines. All the same.
:50:15
A single, worldwide gnocchi.
:50:18
All over the world,
wine production is the same.
:50:23
There's no difference at all
between the wines.
:50:26

by man.
:50:29
It's mostly hype.
:50:33
The land in Bolgheri
was the same 20 years ago.
:50:37
All this wine is from Bolgheri.
:50:42
And Ornellaia is going for...

:51:25
We put each wine, from
separate vats, into oak barrels.
:51:28
Before, wines matured slowly.
:51:33
Now, since people
want to drink at once,
:51:36
we had to create this idea
of maturity with technology.
:51:40
But in the end, the natural way
of ageing a wine is the best.
:51:45
Like those great
20-year-old Burgundies.
:51:51
That's when I get real sensations
from the wine.
:51:54
Then I wonder:
"My God, what am I doing?"
:51:56
And I must go back to my vulgarity.
