Since 1972 Carlo Gaggioli and his daughter Maria Letizia have been running their family business and its 22 hectares of vineyards located in the naturally untouched hills of Bologna.

Their modern cellar uses the latest wine making processes to ensure the best quality wine from the grapes to the bottle. In the old farm house, once owned by the count of Salina, there is the wine cellar, a wine tasting room and a covered terrace overlooking the vineyards and the surrounding landscape.

We believe the best wine is Il Vigneron. For this reason we maintain a clean environment with healthy grapes to create a 'friendly-wine' which customers can trust and believe in.

Twenty hectares of vineyards, like an amphitheatre, are exposed to the sun in the clayey blue-red hills located in the southern area of Zola Predosa. Modern farming methods are employed to respect man and nature.

The plants have a high-density and low-espalier arrangement (5.000 vineyard stock per hectare).

Each vine has only a few grapes in order to obtain great consistency, balance and high quality wine.

Integrated Pest Management (EEC 2078/92 and 1257/99) has been practised for many years with the exclusive use of harmless substances, along with summer pruning, the application of leguminous green manure and a permanent layer of grass. All production processes are controlled by physicochemical analysis.
