Where is the company »
Barboglio de Gaioncelli has been located in Franciacorta since 1875 and started producing wine 200 years ago.
The company owns about 80 hectares, 14 of which are planted with vines.
Of these 14 hectares, about 10 are planted with white grapes e.g. chardonnay, white pinot for the production of still white wines, like White Curtefranca, or sparkling such as Franciacorta Brut d.o.c.g., Extra Dry d.o.c.g, Saten d.o.c.g. and for the upcoming Dosage 0 millesimato d.o.c.g. and Rosé Brut millesimato d.o.c.g.
The other 4 hectares are planted with a special selection of red grapes such as Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Barbera and Nebbiolo destined for the production of the Red Curtefranca.
The grapes are harvested into boxes (max. 18 kg) and the pressing which is carried out in modern presses, is a very soft and totally hygienic process, designed to save the distinctive features of the different grape batches.
The fermentation and the first cycle of the wine-making is carried out in stainless steel tanks where the temperature is very carefully controlled to obtain a high quality product.
Part of the white and part of the red wines are stored in oak barrels for refining and these will be added later to produce wines unique to our company.
The bottles of Franciacorta d.o.c.g. are stored for re-fermentation together with the yeast for a period of at least 24 months.
