The noble Della Gherardesca family began practicing viticulture in the late 1600’s on their land in Bolgheri, but things really began to change under the guidance of Guido Alberto Della Gherardesca (1780-1854). He was a passionate about viticulture. He was appointed majordomo of Grand Duke Leopold II and then dedicated himself to enology in his family’s land in Maremma. In the 1930’s, the property was inherited by Carlotta Della Gherardesca Antinori (Piero Antinori’s mother) and her sister who was married to Mario Incisa Della Rocchetta (who received the nearby Tenuta San Guido).

| Wine making | Once in the winery, the selected grapes were destemmed and softly pressed. Fermentation and maceration took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for about 10 5 days at a temperature of 28-30°C. Part of the Merlot and Syrah musts were kept at lower fermentation temperatures to preserve the varietal aromas better. |
| Aging | The malolactic fermentation occurred partly in oak barrels and partly in stainless steel tanks and terminated in both cases by the end of the year. At this point, the Cabernet Sauvignon was blended with the Merlot and Syrah and the wine went back into the small oak barrels, where it stayed for an additional 7 months before being bottled. |
