Il Dosso di Archetti Luca
(Winery in Lombardy)

Provides 3 wine tastings and winery visit from €37.00
Luca Archetti founded Azienda Agricola Il Dosso in 1997 realizing the dream of his father Augusto, who died in 1990. Luca is permeated by the idea of an indissoluble relationship which must link the land to its fruits, that is Franciacorta to its wines. He does not understand, therefore, the attempts of the local viticulture to emulate the French, as for bubbles, or the Tuscans for reds. His inspiring thought is to refuse "corrections" in the cellar, as opposed to an almost maniacal care of the vineyard: the "terroir" must be freely expressed and must identify the wine, far from being homogeneous to hundreds of other products equal to themselves until boredom, whose main characteristic is to be sellable. Archetti will probably never become rich with this activity, but he certainly has a precise identity in the Franciacorta wine production that much bigger companies may have difficulty in finding. Six hectares of vineyards, for a potential annual production of 30,000 bottles. In the land of bubbles, Archetti without any qualms has chosen to privilege red wines, which make up more than three quarters of the wines produced. On the other hand the available vineyards, both for the exposure and for the mineral composition, are particularly suited for red grapes.

Provides 4 wine tastings and winery visit from €28.00
Nobility, tradition, and territory are the key elements of Medolago Albani products. The Medolago Albani Winery is located on the hills of Redona in the Municipality of Trescore Balneario, at the entrance to the Cavallina Valley, along the Bergamo-Lovere state road. The 30 hectares of vineyards have optimal exposure in a basin facing south. The calcareous-clayey soils and the excellent micro-climate have favored the cultivation of vines for centuries. The church and the cellar, the nucleus of an ancient hermitage with agricultural activity, date back to the early sixteenth century. The current manor house is an excellent example of eighteenth-century architecture. The ancient wine-growing vocation of the area is also testified by the grandiose fresco of the "Christ of the vineyards" painted by Lorenzo Lotto in 1524 in the Suardi Chapel of Trescore, a couple of kilometers away from the Medolago Albani winery, which, in turn, it preserves a precious canvas of the Lotto school dated 1536, depicting Santa Caterina d'Alessandria. The constant replanting of the vineyards with fine clones and modern winemaking equipment allows the Medolago Albani winery to renew itself in tradition while continuing to guarantee typical wines with a great personality. Member of the Lombardy Wine Tourism Movement and the Valcalepio Doc Protection Consortium, the Medolago Albani winery is equipped to receive visits from individuals or groups upon reservation. The Conti Medolago Albani family lives in the homonymous palace on the walls of Bergamo Alta. The palace owned by the family and of historical and artistic interest is an imposing example of neoclassical architecture. Built by the architect Simone Cantoni starting from 1770, it was bought in 1841 by Count Giacomo Medolago Albani, the ancestor of the current owners. In short, the palace was transformed, embellished and became one of the most elegant in the city and the seat of the most important historical and cultural events of the time such as the visits of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria with his wife Elisabeth of Bavaria (better known such as Princess Sissi) and of the king of Italy Vittorio Emanuele II as evidenced by the commemorative stone slabs at the entrance of the building.

Le Strie winery, established in 2003 by Stefano, Paolo, Luciana, and Marisa, is a small yet deeply committed family-run winery located in the heart of the Valtellina valley. Despite none of us being originally from this region—Paolo and Marisa from Venice, Luciana from Marche, and Stefano from Rome—we all share a profound passion for winemaking and have embraced the rich winemaking traditions of Valtellina. Situated northeast of Milan, in the midst of the Alps and near Lake Como, our vineyards thrive on ancient terraced slopes that have been cultivated for centuries. The soil here is sandy and acidic, filled with stones, which creates the perfect environment for growing Nebbiolo, the primary grape variety of our region. Our journey began in 1993 when Stefano and Paolo, both graduates in agricultural science, met in Sondrio for work. By 1995, we had started cultivating vines, and in 2002, we made the pivotal decision to produce our own wine, focusing on crafting wines that express the unique terroir of Valtellina. We practice sustainable viticulture, employing the Guyot method, avoiding herbicides, and using integrated pest control. Our grapes are hand-harvested with great care, ensuring that only the best fruit reaches our cellar, where fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. Our commitment to minimal intervention results in wines with low sulfur levels, no clarifications, and only slight filtration before bottling, offering a true taste of Valtellina’s heritage.
