Bolgheri Castle, Medieval castle in Castagneto Carducci, Italy.

The Gothic stone castle stands on a hilltop with a square tower, turreted walls, and a double-arched entrance gate facing the cypress-lined avenue.

Built in 1500, the castle underwent major modifications in 1895 to incorporate the central tower and merlons that define its current exterior facade.

The castle belongs to the Counts of Gherardesca family and produces prestigious wines in cellars constructed during the 18th-century restoration period.

The castle maintains 50 hectares of vineyards growing Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah, and Petit Verdot under the DOC Bolgheri classification.

The castle's southwest-facing vineyards receive maritime breezes that create perfect conditions for grape cultivation in the Tuscan wine region.
