The story
The Gaggioli estate is a family-run operation of the Colli Bolognesi with a long history in viticulture and, over time, has complemented its wine production with the agriturismo Borgo delle Vigne, created from the renovation of the estate’s buildings. The family's role is locally recognized for their contribution to the area.
Production philosophy
Production aimed at enhancing the local area: everyday wines carefully vinified, revival of local traditions, and integration with food-and-wine hospitality and zero-km sourcing.
Terroir and vineyards
Located in Zola Predosa, in the Colli Bolognesi. The area is well suited to Pignoletto and to international and indigenous grape varieties cultivated on the hills surrounding the estate.
Awards and recognition
Numerous national and international awards: among them, Pignoletto Superiore DOCG was awarded 3 Bicchieri in 2022; medals and mentions in guides and competitions.
