Eco-compatibility and attention to the territory
Botticino is situated along the hills from which the well-known marble is obtained: but the etymology of the name, Bottus (barrel), reveals its ancient wine vocation.
Our company has been working hard for more than forty years to obtain high quality wines, reducing significantly grapes production in our vineyards and sticking to artisan care of yore.
Doing viticulture, for us, means to interpret necessities of plants and soil, without forgetting the history of the territory: new vineyards are raised in Guyot and Cordone Speronato, those with centennial and precious grapevines are raised with the system of Pergola Brescia but trimmed very short to reduce the production.
Favorable climate, typical soils
Climate, cheered by a light breeze that prevents from stagnation of humidity, let us reduce the “fight” against parasites, permitting us to pick the grapes only when grapes is ready and ripe.
Grapevine in Botticino grow up on precious soils, the same from which we obtain the typical well-known marble.
Variability and quality of soils is also expressed by their names: Corna, Medolo, Corso, Gessina, Maiolica. They are sedimentary rocks that were born 200 million years ago. Some of them are calcareous, other are dolomitic or marble: each one makes every vine variety particular and typical.
OUR WINES
