At Castello di Bolgheri
Castello di Bolgheri is right in the middle of the village of Bolgheri. The visit included a cellar tour and a tasting. Next-generation Owner Clementi Zileri Dal Verne and winemaker Allessandro Dondi were our hosts.
Castello di Bolgheri
Bolgheri DOC · Bolgheri
At the very heart of the Bolgheri story sits Castello di Bolgheri, the estate most intimately
connected with the history and aristocratic heritage of this legendary appellation. The castle
and its surrounding land have been in the possession of the Della Gherardesca family for
centuries (the same noble Pisan lineage that shaped the medieval history of this entire coastal
corner of Tuscany). The famous cypress-lined avenue of Via Lauretta that leads to the village
of Bolgheri, immortalized in Giosuè Carducci's beloved poem “Davanti San Guido”, runs
through the estate's own land, giving a sense of the scale and antiquity of this ancestral
domain.
Today, the estate produces Bolgheri DOC wines from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet
Franc, Merlot, and Syrah, under the direction of Clemente Zileri, combining the weight and
warmth of a prime Bolgheri terroir (deep alluvial soils, maritime breezes, and exceptional sun
exposure) with the elegance and restraint that aristocratic heritage seems to demand. Visiting
the estate is as much a journey into Tuscan history as it is a wine tasting.
