About Winery and Wines

Piamborno, the main Piancogno’s hamlet, is located in the middle of Vallecamonica, to the north of Darfo Boario Terme. Characterized by the Davine stream’s impetuous waterfall that flows closeto its historical centre, the village, with its medieval terraces, has been foryears a very important sitefor the production of grape and wine. The pioneer that produced in the first decades of the 20th century the first Vallecamonica wine bottles was the lawyer Maffeo Gheza with the wine Lanzato, whose production lasted until 1980: in particular, the preparing was carried out in the farmhouse’s root cellar until 1973 and, starting from 1974, in a winery built by its son Pietro Gheza, that today is family Bignotti’s property.

All Bignotti’s vines extend along the ancient Voltestreet. The first vineyard, the one next to the family house, is located in what previouslywasthe historical centre of the village, close to the old parish church: from this small site, the entire activity came to life. Instead, the other plots of land are located above, along the east foothill side: real mountain vines, placed in an uncontaminated environment, far from pollution. Vineyards that, above all, want to safeguard their wine’s authentic values: hard work, territory, uniqueness, biodiversity and tradition. Example of extraordinary beauty and great monuments to man’s work.
