ABOUT
Family run Business, lying in the “Oltrepò Pavese” district, for a total area of 6 hectares (14,826 acres) of vineyards, after the second half of the 19th century, it turns into a wine growing Business. Since the 70s has chosen a restructuring project aiming at the safeguard of the traditional wine growing to comply with the environment and the end user.
Manual labour, territory management and environmental protection are the basis for a responsible agriculture.
The regaining of indigenous vineyards (such as Moradella, Barbera, Croatina, Vermiglio, Croà) and historical vineyards, complying with the territory propensity, and the use of the “Bottaia Didattica” (didactic barrels) (made in 2007 thanks to the skills of Garbelotto), has been a decisive factor to deal with the issues concerning wood and the wine influence have been the essential elements to reach for our own concepts as for respect and balance.
In 2006 Fausto and his family launched ‘Fuori della Mischia’ a laboratory, aimed at promoting the social integration of people with disabilities, experiencing sociality and autonomy, in a small community and non- passive welcome dimension.
The ‘Fuori dalla Mischia’ laboratory makes disadvantaged people participate in some activities of the farm, promoting an experience of community life, such as the labels, who they made.
Every single wine made by Fausto is magic!
