Half Syrah, half Merlot from the estate on Via Bolgherese, pressed separately and left four months on its spent yeast in steel. The producer calls the salty finish Levia's signature; before it come wild strawberry, white peach and pink grapefruit.
Pale salmon in the glass, leading with wild strawberry, white peach and pink grapefruit. The 6 to 8 hours the Syrah spends on its skins before pressing are there to heighten exactly this colour and lift.

Wet stonesCrisp and stony, with the salty edge the producer calls Levia's signature. Four months on its spent yeast, stirred now and then, lend a soft, gently creamy texture around the 12% frame. A slow 15 to 20 day fermentation at low temperature, all in stainless steel, keeps the fruit taut rather than ripe.
Clean and refreshing. It closes on that salty, sea-breeze note rather than on sweetness, and no oak touches the wine at any stage.
A contemporary coastal rosato from a Bolgheri estate, declared Toscana IGT and built to drink through 2026, served at the producer's 8 to 10C. It is the fresh, immediate wine of the Caccia al Piano range, and a well-liked one.
Two UK merchants sell the 2024 vintage. The Great Wine Co. asks £27, easing to £24.30 a bottle on 12+ mixed cases, and Great Wines Direct £25.42. Italian enoteca shelves carry it near 16 euros, so the UK premium is worth watching.
The scores below weigh Levia's shellfish-to-poultry table range and its £25.42 to £27 UK price against a 15.90 euro Italian shelf. They also weigh a drink-young steel build with no oak or ageing rule behind it.
Salty finish and grapefruit acidity span shellfish, lean fish, tomato antipasti and roast poultry: a wide, forgiving table range for a rosato.
Dry but fruit-led at 12%, steel-raised with no tannic grip or oak. The strawberry and pink-grapefruit profile and the soft, creamy texture make it an easy first Tuscan rosato.
The drink-young style suits midweek tables, but at £25.42 to £27 in the UK it prices above the everyday rosato band. So it leans occasional here, despite its 15.90 euro Italian shelf price.
In the UK it costs £25.42 to £27 against a 15.90 euro Italian shelf at Enoteca Telaro. That is a full import premium for an IGT rosato without critic scores, partly offset by Bolgheri-estate provenance.
A Bolgheri-estate address and contemporary label give it summer-lunch and aperitivo polish, but the region-wide Toscana IGT declaration keeps it below fine-dining prestige territory.
Steel tanks only, four months on its spent yeast, no oak and a producer serving range of 8 to 10C. Levia 2024 is built for the 2025 to 2026 window, not the cellar.

A compact view of what the Toscana denomination actually requires, and how this bottle sits inside it. Pulled from the official Italian disciplinare.
The 2024 season split neatly in three: a hot, dry summer above 30C set between a cool, rainy spring and autumn. Merlot came in during the last third of August, before a cooler September rebalanced the rest of the harvest.
Caccia al Piano's sheet calls 2024 a neatly divided season: a hot, dry summer above 30C set between a cool, rainy spring and autumn, with Merlot picked in the third decade of August. A rosato to drink young, through 2026.

Drink-now / hold guidance reflects general style cues for this wine, not a forecast for a specific bottle. Where vintage-level editorial notes exist, they appear above.
The estate farms on Via Bolgherese in Castagneto Carducci, yet declares Levia under the region-wide Toscana IGT. It keeps the Bolgheri DOC for its Superiore red, Levia Gravia. The IGT covers Tuscany as a whole and leaves the Syrah and Merlot blend free.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Toscana is in the IGT tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Toscana falls within Tuscany, covering Arezzo · Firenze · Grosseto · Livorno · Lucca · Massa Carrara · Pisa · Pistoia · Prato · Siena.
Winery
Castagneto Carducci
Wine area
Made at Caccia al Piano 1868, Castagneto Carducci. Directions
Caccia al Piano picks Syrah and Merlot separately, each by hand into 15 kg crates, then makes them apart. Two picking passes and parallel tank work for one wine raise labour cost per bottle.
The rosato sits four months on its spent yeast, stirred now and then, before blending. That ties up tank space and cellar labour through winter instead of shipping weeks after fermentation.
HMRC duty on a 12% still wine comes to £2.67, and VAT makes up about £4.24 of Great Wines Direct's £25.42. Roughly £6.91 of the UK price is tax before freight enters the maths.
No oak is bought and no DOC ageing minimum applies. Levia ferments and matures solely in stainless steel under the region-wide IGT, keeping cellar cost far below the estate's Bolgheri Superiore red, Levia Gravia.
Enoteca Telaro sells Levia 2024 at 15.90 euros in Italy, roughly half the £25.42 to £27 asked in the UK. Freight plus importer and retail margin on a small Bolgheri-estate line explain the gap beyond duty and VAT.
Dishes that go with this wine
The salty finish the producer names as Levia's trait, plus grapefruit-fresh acidity, sets the logic. Shellfish, lean fish, tomato antipasti and simple poultry: the natural territory of a Central Italy rose.
Levia's pink-grapefruit freshness, kept sharp by a slow cool fermentation in steel, runs level with raw tomato acidity instead of falling flat beside it. That same cut keeps mozzarella's cream from coating the palate.
Try with: Insalata Caprese · Pappa al Pomodoro · Panzanella · More pairings →
The salty finish Caccia al Piano names as Levia's trait mirrors the brine of mussels and oysters, the way a coastal white would. Salt in the dish also makes the wild-strawberry fruit read riper without any sugar.
Try with: Impepata di cozze · Oysters · Fregula ai frutti di mare · More pairings →
At 12% with no oak and bright grapefruit-led acidity, Levia scrubs frying oil from the palate between bites. The soft texture from four months of stirring on its spent yeast stops the wine feeling thin next to batter and crumb.
Try with: Gnocco fritto · Pizza Fritta · Prawn Tempura · More pairings →
Four months on its spent yeast give Levia just enough weight for grilled swordfish or a plain roast chicken, without smothering either. Lean fish and simple poultry are the natural territory of a Central Italy rose like this one.
Try with: Pesce spada alla Siciliana · Roast chicken · Salmon · More pairings →
The wild-strawberry and white-peach aromatics in the 2024 bridge straight into prosciutto's sweet-salt cure, the melon-and-ham logic in rosato form. Olive-oil flatbreads pick up the salty note instead of fighting it.
Try with: Prosciutto e melone · Focaccia Genovese · Schiacciata · More pairings →
A steel-raised 12% rosato has no tannin or oak to stand up to Barolo-scale braised beef, which flattens its delicate strawberry fruit. Heavy chilli heat strips the aromatics entirely and leaves only acid behind.
Skip with: Brasato al Barolo · Chicken madras · Szechuan beef · Pairing guide →
Steel tanks only, four months on its spent yeast, cork-sealed and released young: Caccia al Piano builds Levia for freshness. Drink the 2024 through 2026 at the producer's stated 8 to 10C.
Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Aim for the cooler end on a warm day; warmer end opens up more aromatics.
Steel tanks only, four months on its spent yeast, no oak and a producer serving range of 8 to 10C. Levia 2024 is built for the 2025 to 2026 window, not the cellar.
£21.18 for a 75cl bottle of the 2024, at Great Wines Direct, is the best price we track, and we have no signal of further discounting.

Confidence · MediumLevia is 50% Syrah and 50% Merlot, per the estate's technical sheet. The varieties are hand-picked into 15 kg crates at separate times and made apart. Merlot is whole-cluster pressed, while Syrah sits 6 to 8 hours on its skins before a slow, cool fermentation in stainless steel.
Caccia al Piano 1868, a Bolgheri estate on Via Bolgherese at Castagneto Carducci. The Ziliani family owns it, the name behind Franciacorta's Guido Berlucchi. Levia is the estate's Toscana IGT rosato, a separate wine from its Bolgheri Superiore red, Levia Gravia.
Levia carries Toscana IGT, the regional indication covering all of Tuscany. That is how Caccia al Piano declares this Syrah and Merlot rosato. The estate reserves Bolgheri Superiore DOC for its flagship red, Levia Gravia. The address stays coastal Bolgheri either way: the vineyards sit on Via Bolgherese in Castagneto Carducci.
Shellfish, lean fish, tomato-led antipasti and simple poultry. The salty finish the producer calls Levia's signature echoes mussels and oysters. The grapefruit-fresh palate handles Insalata Caprese and fried starters. Four months on its spent yeast give it the weight for lean fish and simple roast poultry too.
Serve at 8 to 10C, the range on the producer's 2024 technical sheet, and drink it through 2026. This is a steel-raised rosato with four months on its spent yeast and no oak, made for freshness rather than cellaring.
As of July 2026, two UK merchants sell the 2024 vintage. Great Wines Direct sells it at £25.42 and The Great Wine Co. at £27, which drops to £24.30 a bottle on mixed purchases of 12 or more.
