L’AZIENDA AGRICOLA
Centuries of the Ricci Curbastro family farming tradition are represented by the commercial farms of Lugo in Romagna (RA), Rontana in Brisighella (RA) and Capriolo in Franciacorta (BS).
Bottled wine was produced in Capriolo as far back as the 1800s, as can be seen today by the labels bearing the date 1885. In 1967 it was transformed into a modern wine producing company by Gualberto Ricci Curbastro, the year the D.O.C. Franciacorta was instituted.
27 of the company's 32 hectares are covered in vines, set out in compliance with the exacting directions of modern wine production and the Franciacorta Wine Consortium, to which the company has adhered since its foundation.
The CELLAR, where the Franciacorta DOCG is fermented and slowly aged, is set underground in a large age-old park where Villa Evelina is found.
Oenologists Laberto Musatti and Riccardo Ricci Curbastro follow the vinification process, merging their experience in wines to satisfy the increasingly demanding palates of consumers worldwide.
THE CELLAR IS ALWAYS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC offering an opportunity to buy directly from the producers.
THE 'AGRITURISMO' COUNTRY HOUSE
COUNTRY HOUSE: Set among the vineyards are 8 apartments in converted farm buildings located opposite the production premises. All apartments are furnished with a fully equipped kitchen and bed and bathroom linen is provided.
CONFERENCE ROOM: 99-seat capacity and loud-speaker, recording and projection systems all set in a peaceful and bright 200 M² room. Tasting sessions and cultural events are organised; available to hire for meetings by request.
GRANAIO VERDE: the kingdom of Evelina Ricci Curbastro, set within the old granary. A picturesque shop bursting with antique pieces and open to the public every afternoon from Monday to Saturday from 3pm to 7pm.
ACINELLO: a project created for schools, a delightful character that takes children along the path of the discovery of their 5 senses and the wine and winemaking culture.
THE MUSEUM
The MUSEUM of Agriculture and Wine in the farm buildings of Azienda Agricola Ricci Curbastro, the only one of its kind in Franciacorta, conserves thousands of objects bearing witness to the farm work of an age long gone.
Launched in 1986 it is the result of the painstaking research that Gualberto Ricci Curbastro started more than thirty years ago and continues to this very day.
Four rooms, divided by theme, can be visited without booking so that we can tell you the story of our work of yesterday and today.
