We are on the Tuscan Coast. The Mediterranean climate with mild winters is ideal for growing vines. Summers are hot and dry but tempered by the breezes from the Tyrrhenian Sea. Rainfall is scarce, concentrated in winter and spring.
Most of the Guado al Melo vineyards are located in the foothills of Bolgheri, in a small valley that falls between them, with an east-west orientation. The vineyards are surrounded by woods and olive groves. This area has the coolest average temperature in the territory and the greatest summer temperature range between day and night.
Our position also protects the vineyards from the icy winds (Tramontana and Grecale) that can sometimes cause frost on the coast in early spring.
This micro-climate allows our wines to strike a perfect balance between elegance and power. It guarantees good freshness and a remarkable richness of aromas.
