Castello di Bolgheri

Castello di Bolgheri Winery embraces its storied history and ideal location in order to create a variety of delectable Tuscan Wines enjoyed all over the world.

Located on the historic lands of the beautiful 13th century Bolgheri Castle, Castello di Bolgheri Winery boasts 50 hectares of vast vineyards producing Bolgheri DOC wine, made with the grape varieties of Cabernet SauvignonCabernet FrancMerlotSyrah and Petit Verdot.

The vineyards of Castello di Bolgheri are located near the village of Bolgheri, known for creating some of Tuscany’s most celebrated wines. The success of the wine from the region can be attributed to the fact that the vineyards have a south-western sun exposure along with their proximity to the sea, which allows the sea breeze to act as ventilation during the hot summer months.

After the grapes have been grown and cultivated, the wine is made and stored in the winery’s cellar which dates back to 1796, where the combination of traditional wine making techniques are fused with modern practices to create a delicious wine.
