BOLGHERI AND ITS SIGNATURE WINES: THE STORY OF A SMALL TERRITORY AND ITS WINES
Bolgheri can be defined the home land of “Supertuscan” wines. The man behind the great revolution is Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, who had the intuition that Bolgheri had a vocation for the iconic French grape varieties Cabernet and Merlot; so he copied Bordeaux’s viticultural techniques, which were culturally very innovative at that time in Italy, and also introduced the use of barrique in the cellar. The legendary Sassicaia gained its official acclaim in 1978, when the wine magazine “Decanter” published the results of a comparative tasting of Cabernet wines in the world; at that tasting Sassicaia won the highest recognition. Afterwards, Sassicaia’s 1985 vintage competed in a tasting organized by Grand Jury Européen, with Bordeaux’s Grands Crus, obtaining again the highest recognition. That vintage, however, wasn’t an isolated case, and starting from the 1990s, Sassicaia was joined by numerous other vintages from other wineries in the area that had also obtained prestigious international recognition. Climate conditions play a decisive role in the delicacy of Bolgheri wines. As such, most of the Bolgheri vineyards are in a great natural amphitheatre which opens up towards the sea but it is sheltered by the hills leading to Monti Metalliferi. This particular orographic condition is responsible for a considerable difference in temperature from day to night, that contributes to enhance the grapes’ aromatic assets. These factors affect the breezes, or winds which have a thermic origin and are, therefore, the result of different temperature variations coming from the sea rather than from the land. Soil is also crucial for these wines. The area is located on a soil which dates back to the Pliocenic era, that formed 5 million years ago; upon this layer, large terraces of marine and eolic origin formed, which are characterized by different geologic characteristics: a lower terrace, between 20 and 35 meters on the sea level, and an upper terrace, between 35 and 130 meters on the sea level. The further we go from the sea and the higher in altitude, the percentage of sand decreases and the percentage of calcareous and clayey soil increases, and we found for instance the ancient marine sediments. All these elements together throughout time gave origin to very varied environments in an enclosed space, and this is the real and original asset of this territory. The oldest soils are made of schistoid flysch from the Eocene which characterize the highest spots of the appellation.
GUADO AL MELO was born in 1999 from Caterina and Attilio Scienza, who come from wine growing families from Trentino-Alto Adige. The vineyard in the lower part is located at the foot of the Segalari hill and develops along the Bolgheri Fossa. The initial size of the estate was of approximately 10 hectares. The winery was completed

Viticultural Models, Blends, Grape Varieties, Complantation
Guado al Melo’s CRISEO and JASSARTE
World viticulture has been characterized by a great diversity in climate and terroirs. Through climatic cycles which characterized viticulture in the last 1,000 years, very original viticultural expression developed. The terminology for these is “viticultural model. Even if environmental conditions are the most important ones, cultural aspects nonetheless also had some weight in the selection of a certain “viticultural model”. The foundations of all these models are territory-based viticulture and grape-based viticulture. The basic criteria in deciding which vines must be grown in the same vineyard is climate. In the examples which will be illustrated in this presentation, a fundamental distinction has been made between continental climates and mediterranean climates: in the first case, temperatures can be limiting factors, whereas in the second case rain frequency can also influence the selection of either one vine only so that it can be best adapted to a temperate-cold climate or several vines which will allow a more varied compositional structure in sugar, acidity, color, aromas in order to produce complex wines that are more suitable for ageing. In Italy, viticultural models in the Northern regions are affected by both climate and cultural aspects and feature predominantly single-varietal wines (with the exception of Valpolicella), whereas in the centre of Italy, these models are plurivarietal. In the South of Italy and the islands, the tradition is characterized by the production of wines for blending to correct the weaker Northern wines: hence, the consequence of this tradition has been the choice of single-varietal cultivation in order to maximize alcohol and color contents. In the New World, the various viticultural regions used the name of the grape variety a lot in their communication and developed mostly single-varietal vineyards, choosing also a guiding vine for their viticulture. Why is complantation—a term used to define the composition of a vineyard with several vines that are often vinified together—is back in fashion? Because it represents an effective tool to mitigate the dramatic effects of climate change and to facilitate the production of wines that naturally have a great ageing potential and complex flavor and aromatic profiles without the necessity of using corrective enological techniques. Criseo and Jassarte, which are produced at Guado al Melo and are getting increasingly more attention from consumers, are an example of this viticultural model.
