Winemaker Notes

Aging on the lees in the bottle for 30 months.
The Story
In Mompiano area, Colle San Giuseppe rises at the foot of Mount Maddalena. In this area called "Ronco" viticulture has an important past. In the past most of these lands were donated by Charlemagne to the Benedictine monks of S. Faustino in Brescia indicating their purpose: "Ad vineas faciendas et lignaria componenda" (vineyards and woods).
Among the families who worked in collaboration with the Benedictines and who gave rise to the nucleus of Mompiano are the Pasolini. Today the passion for agriculture, and in particular for natural viticulture, has prompted the current owners to take back those lands and the winery with the hope that what has been history over the centuries can also be in the future.
