The Guado al Melo 2020 Bolgheri Bianco Criseo is a field blend of grapes from the Campo Bianco Vineyard. It roughly breaks down to 70% Vermentino and 30% other co-fermented grapes (including Fiano, Verdicchio, Petit Manseng, Manzoni Bianco). Those complementary varieties were chosen because they are suitable to the warm territory and able to support longer aging. The wine ferments and ages in steel on the lees for 12 months. These mid-weight results show creamy orchard fruit and crushed almond with some subtle background tones of white stone and garden herb. Some 3,500 bottles were produced.

The 2016 Bolgheri Bianco Criseo is unusually heavy and rich, thanks to extended aging on the lees. This wine represents a field blend of Vermentino, Fiano, Verdicchio, Mazoni Bianco and Petit Manseng from a single experimental vineyard called Campo Bianco (with 20-year-old vines). The grapes are co-fermented and undergo a couple years of aging. The bouquet presents orange peel, candy and flint stone. Despite the odd palate, however, the wine does bring nice intensity. Some 4,000 bottles were made.

This wine was previously named Guado al Melo Bianco but has now been given a new fantasy name. The 2015 Bolgheri Bianco Criseo is a blend of 80% Vermentino with other white grapes including Fiano, Verdicchio, Incrocio Manzoni and Petit Manseng. The wine is aged on the lees. All the fruit is sourced from a single vineyard parcel called Campo Bianco. The wine shows a luminous, off-gold color and the bouquet showed signs of reduction when I tasted it. It takes a little while to come alive and it never fully opens. It delivers aromas of stone fruit and candied orange peel.
