VISIT THE HISTORIC CRU OF BOTTICINO DOC, ONE OF THE SMALLEST AND
OLDEST DOCs IN ITALY!
This visit will transport you back in time: you will experience an adventure in the ancient rural life of the old Botticino farmers, virtually meeting the ancient farmers of the farmhouse to learn about the roots of Botticino wine.
The experience includes:
- visit to the ancient estate from the 1500s, with vineyards over 50 years old
- enjoy the view from 400 m above sea level!
- virtual meeting, through a short video, with the ancient inhabitants
- tasting of 4 wines (Rosato L'aura, and 3 Botticino DOC (red) Ulivi, Più de la Tesa, Gobbio) in the ancient renovated stable with period furnishings and tableware; accompanied by local cheeses and cured meats
Wear period costumes, you can be the farmer or the noble! With the chosen outfits, we will take a souvenir photo in the vineyards with a Polaroid for a trip back in time!

Informazioni sull'host
The territory of BOTTICINO is an amphitheatre of hills arranged in a horseshoe shape, open towards the south.
These soft reliefs, entirely made up of calcium carbonate, host our vineyards at about 380 m above sea level; between one vineyard and the next there are quarries for the extraction of the precious marble "Botticino Classico", which is widely present in the subsoil.
The universally recognised ELEGANCE of Botticino stone is the same as that which the marly soil gives to BOTTICINO wine.
In the vineyard, under a first layer of about 50 cm of soil, the vines find the white marble that characterizes this area and is fundamental for viticulture: in the soil we find very high percentages of limestone, calcium carbonate and other minerals, which together with the clays, give rise to the typical Marne.
The minerals are then assimilated by the plants and contribute to the structure of Botticino DOC, giving flavour and elegance to Noventa wines.
BOTTICINO D.o.c. is a blend of all Italian grapes: Barbera and Sangiovese for the most part, a little Marzemino and a little Schiava Gentile.
We work in organic farming because we want to preserve this unique territory, which allows us, due to its physical and geological conformation, to obtain wines of excellent organoleptic qualities.
