Guado al Melo

Estate story

Guado al Melo is a family-owned winery located in the heart of the Bolgheri DOC area, on the Tuscan hills overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Immersed in an unspoiled natural landscape characterized by Mediterranean scrubland, the estate is guided by Annalisa and Michele Scienza, who share a clear vision focused on producing authentic terroir-driven wines through an artisanal and sustainable approach.

The philosophy of Guado al Melo is deeply rooted in the idea that wine is the result of a complex synergy between vineyard, environment, and human knowledge.

Sustainability is not treated as a trend, but as a natural consequence of respecting the land and its biodiversity. The vineyards are cultivated with great attention to balance, soil health, and the preservation of the surrounding ecosystem.

Located within the Bolgheri DOC zone, Guado al Melo produces both Bolgheri Rosso and Bolgheri Superiore wines, primarily based on Cabernet Sauvignon, alongside a fresh and expressive Vermentino that reflects the maritime influence of the nearby coast.

The vineyards lie on deep alluvial soils, rich in sand, clay, and pebbles, which allow excellent drainage and contribute to elegance, structure, and aromatic precision in the wines.
