The name comes from a military installation Bulgari allies of the Lombards, certificates here in defensive position against a possible landing of troops from the Byzantine Sardinia.
It is not known the precise time when the Castle of Bolgheri took this name in place of the old hall of the Duke Allone. In fact, what is the Bolgheri district was designated in the bill sent on 20 November 1075 by Pope Gregory VII to Bishop William of Populonia, wherever they prescribe the boundaries of the diocese on the western side. How then Allone duke of Lucca and Pisa to the fall of the Lombards, confirmed in the judiciary by Charlemagne, had seized the possessions of the Gherardesca, is evidenced by a letter of Pope Hadrian I written to the new king of Lombardy, so you would order the return of possessions confiscated and taken by Duke Allone a Gunfredo abbot of the monastery of Monteverdi, ie the son of the founder of San Walfredo said Badia and more remote ancestor of the family Della Gherardesca.
