Cantina Castello di Bolgheri

About

The cellar Castello di Bolgheri dates back to 1796, when it was owned and built by the della Gherardesca family. Federico Zileri Dal Verme took over the family tradition in the mid 90's with the goal to produce wines that represent the highest expression of Bolgheri's terroir, in terms of complexity, elegance and longevity. From his passion, together with the great contribution of the company team, two labels are born: Castello di Bolgheri, DOC Bolgheri Superiore; and Varvàra, DOC Bolgheri, named after the Federico's great-grandmother. The cellar is located in the middle of the hamlet of Bolgheri and develops across two floors. On the first floor you will find the wine shop, where you can taste and buy the estate's products and learn about its ancient history. The lower floor is underground and divided into a vinification area with temperature-controlled steel tanks, and an area for ageing in wood with barriques, tonneaux and oak tanks.
