The story
Corte Fusia was founded by Daniele Gentile and Gigi Nembrini. The idea took shape in 2010, and the estate developed around the cultivation and winemaking of grapes from Monte Orfano, with the winery housed in a restored historic courtyard in Coccaglio.
Production philosophy
Respect for the land and minimal intervention in the vineyard and cellar: the estate favors integrated viticulture practices and winemaking aimed at faithfully expressing the terroir, with any adjustments made exclusively using the wine itself.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards are located on the southern slope of Monte Orfano, on soils characterized by rocky, clay-rich and moderately calcareous components; exposure and hillside position influence the style of the wines.
