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.
Come with us to the hills of Botticino to visit this magical territory, where stone and wine meet in an uncontaminated nature. Here viticulture has very ancient roots, in fact we find in the vineyards even centenarian vines, as precious as they are rare.
At the end of the visit to the vineyards, we will open the doors to the winery and to our family, which is inextricably linked to agriculture and oenology.
WE ARE AVAILABLE FOR VISITS EVERY DAY EXCEPT SUNDAYS (SUNDAYS ONLY FOR GROUPS OF 8 OR MORE PEOPLE) FROM 9 TO 11 A.M. AND FROM 2 TO 6 P.M.
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE VISITS
FAMILY-FRIENDLY
For children, we offer a free blind tasting of fruit juices, small games and colouring-in drawings. Parents can taste the wines in peace and quiet while keeping an eye on the children.
SPRING TIME
In the spring months, when the temperatures allow us to stay pleasantly outside, all experiences are enjoyed outdoors in our vineyards (the cost is equivalent to the experience with a visit to the vineyards), weather permitting.
PARKING
Parking spaces directly in the farmyard. Other parking spaces are available next to the winery entrance and at the beginning of Via Merano, next to the town hall. In the spring months, when tastings are organised in the vineyard, parking spaces are available adjacent to the vineyards, at Botticino in via Sampì 32 .
