The Bolgheri Castle, whose origins date back to the 13th century, has always been owned by the Gherardesca Counts. Its cellar, dated five centuries later, is the oldest in the area and the only one in the Bolgheri country. Although wine has been produced here for centuries, the credit of having turned the agricultural reality into a high quality winery goes to the current family’s descendant, Federico Zileri Dal Verme.
