Winery Fondo San Giuseppe

After about ten years working in other wineries, Stefano Bariani acquired the estate in 2008 and developed it together with Mariagrazia Rizzati. Production has focused on highlighting the typical grape varieties of Valpiana and on environmentally friendly farming practices.

Focus on natural wine and organic viticulture: the winery favors limited technical intervention, respect for biodiversity, and certified organic farming practices to best express the characteristics of the soil.

Located at 400 metres above sea level in the Valpiana subzone near Brisighella, the soils are clayey loam with a marly skeleton, and proximity to the Lamone River can, in some vintages, favour the development of botrytis on susceptible varieties. The area is characterised by high biodiversity thanks to the surrounding woods.
