Castello di Bolgheri Varvàra Bolgheri DOC

The 60 hectares of vines are owned by Federico Zileri, who, with the support of oenologist Alessandro Dondi, vinifies the excellent wines of Castello di Bolgheri. The vineyard is located in close proximity to the castle and borders the parcels of Tenuta dell’Ornellaia, San Guido (Sassicaia), and Guado al Tasso. Only in the best years are the wines of Castello di Bolgheri bottled. For instance, the vintages 2002, 2003, and 2014 were deemed not good enough for Castello di Bolgheri and were omitted in pursuit of consistent quality. Regularly, the top wines receive high ratings from international wine committees. The Varvàra 2018 was awarded the prestigious Tre Bicchieri by Gambero Rosso, and the Castello di Bolgheri 2017 was honored with an impressive 96 points by James Suckling.
