Guado al Melo produces amazing wines in Bolgheri. It is a family-owned winery directed by Annalisa and Michele Scienza, is committed to the goal of producing great terroir wines, following a philosophy based an artisanal approach and sustainability. Guado al melo is located in the Bolgheri DOC zone, in the Tuscan hills that face the Tyrrhenian Sea, immersed in a pristine natural landscape characterized by Mediterranean scrubland.

Gualdo al melo presents Bolgheri DOC and Bolgheri Superiore, with a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon. And also a fresh Vermentino.

The heart of our winery, completely underground and constructed in accord with ecological principles, is a Wine Library, which boasts several thousands of books relating to wine. Around it, in the vineyard and in the cellar, we have created a museum itinerary that tells the history and culture of the territory and of this product. Along with historical vineyards, books and ancient work tools, the history is explained with panels and videos.

We have a remarkable biodiversity of varieties in Guado al Melo’s vineyards. We wanted to retrace the history of our territory in our vineyards. In our tradition, wine is born from a blend of more varieties, that is more than their sum. It is a synergy that, combined with the territory, is able to produce great wines, rich of personality and complexity. In our vineyards there are the grapes of the historical tradition (mainly Vermentino and Sangiovese) and those that represent the contemporary evolution of Bolgheri (Cabernet sauvignon above all, then Cabernet franc, Syrah, Merlot, …).

We also wanted to recover the most ancient Mediterranean tradition: the field-blend of multiple varieties in a single vineyard. For millennia, until not long ago, wine was above all the expression of a territory, of a single vineyard with a unique and often complex identity. The Campo Bianco vineyard includes 5 white varieties. The Campo Giardino vineyard is a collection of about 30 red varieties (old Tuscan and Mediterranean ones).
