15 minutes from Bolgheri
You've spent the day among the cypresses and the legendary cellars of Bolgheri — Sassicaia, Ornellaia, the Super Tuscans. For dinner, leave the coast behind and climb a few minutes into the hills. Osteria del Cinghiale is in Riparbella, at Località Il Giardino 44, about 15 minutes from Bolgheri and 10 km from Bibbona. Here you'll find the other Tuscany: the cooking of the land — pappardelle with wild boar, Florentine steak over the embers, peposo, vegetarian dishes — made the way it always has been. Free parking, a quiet garden, a warm room. The perfect counterpoint to a day of wine and sea.
From the menu
Fresh egg pasta dressed with a slow-cooked wild boar ragù, red wine and woodland spices. The osteria's signature dish — the one worth the drive.
Wild boar marinated and braised slowly with black olives, tomato and aromatic herbs. The recipe of Tuscan tradition, made the way it was in the old Maremma farms.
Steak grilled over embers, only selected cuts — the natural match for a great Bolgheri red. And for everyone else: burrata ravioli, peposo, vegetarian dishes.
