Safeguarded Wines

[…] Many viticulture are as ancient as that of Bergamo. Lots outdo it as far as quantity is concerned. But few could boast such a qualitative evolution through time”
Vini della Bergamasca, A. Quinzani

Valcalepio DOC

Valcalepio represented the Renaissance of oenology in Bergamo. Following an historical phase of wild industrialization a relentless abandon of the soils took place. In the middle of the Seventies tough some producers took the first steps towards a new and big adventure of Wine in Bergamo, a product boasting a long tradition dating back to Medieval time.

The centre of this project was Cantina Sociale Bergamasca that started in that period a series of experimental vinification with native grapes and enhancing grapes. These tests brought to the choice of the varieties selected for the DOC request.
