Over time it takes on a beautiful golden color, hence the name Criseo, “made of gold.” On the label, satyrs dance holding a cup and a rattling instrument.

THE VINEYARD: THE FOUNDATION
OF A GREAT WINE.

Our intent is to make terroir wine. This means that we try, with our careful work, to indulge and enhance its unique characteristics, what the Latins called
Genius Loci
, the Spirit of Place. We thus express elegant, complex wines with great personality.

The main part of our vineyards is located in the best area of Bolgheri, on the first slopes of the hills. In total, the area planted with vines is about 20 ha.

The vineyards are surrounded by Mediterranean scrub forests and olive groves. They are naturally grassed and managed with the care and knowledge of the winemaker, sustainably according to the holistic principles of integrated viticulture.

At Guado al Melo we have a remarkable biodiversity of grape varieties. We wanted to retrace the entire history of our territory, from the most contemporary to the most traditional, to the oldest Mediterranean tradition, the co-planting of several varieties in a single vineyard.
