The Bonfadini winery was founded in 1956 with grandfather Giovanni, who had always been a direct grower in Franciacorta. Graziano, one of his 7 sons, inherited a love for the land and a desire to create something special with the grapes they had always grown. So in 1993 he took over his father's business and continued to cultivate the vineyards, selling the grapes to the big companies in Franciacorta.
