Historical figures and documents report that these areas have been cultivated as vineyards at least since the mid-1800s. They were part of a great estate that with the 20th century was broken up, with the parcels passing from hand to hand until they arrived in our hands in 1998.
This passage of properties had left this particular parcel without a name. Examining historical maps, we discovered the toponym “Guado al Melo,” or Ford at the Apple Tree, which was a ford across the Fossa di Bolgheri stream that forms the Northern boundary of our property. And thus Guado al Melo it became, testifying to our bond with the area. In 1999, we re-planted the vineyards, and in 2005 we completed the construction of the current wine cellar. Read more

| Story | Rute comes from the word "red" in Etruscan, the root of which is common in several European languages. Red is the color (of wine) that best identifies our extraordinary territory. The Bolgheri wine history is very old but it is since the second half of the 20th century that this great vocation has been recognised throughout the world, thanks to the general improvement of production and the selection of the varieties best suited to the territory. |
