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.
