The Mazzei family purchased the land that became Belguardo in the mid-90's after an extensive search for a property that provided the best expression for international and indigenous grape varieties. The estate's hilly topography, diverse soils and proximity to the Tyrrhenian Sea, provide ideal conditions for high quality viticulture that delivers complex, concentrated wines that are still elegant and fresh. The estate's wines quickly gained global recognition for their quality and established the outstanding potential of the Maremma region.
