About Winery and Wines

• Founded by Granpa Angelo in 1967, in the homonymous farmhouse dating back to the late 1600s • The farmhouse is isolated among woods and vineyards • Since the 90s we manage the cellar following the principles of integrated agriculture • From 2021 we are in conversion to organic farming • Since 2010 we have had a photovoltaic system which guarantees us almost the entire energy requirement • We will soon have a rainwater recovery system to be reused both in the vineyards and in the cellar • As a family, everyone in the winery also has a well-defined role: Elisabetta Dacarro takes care of the agronomic and administrative aspects in support of her brother Stefano, passionate winemaker of La Travaglina, while Stefano Bottiroli, husband of Elisabetta, is the commercial soul. Together with Federico, fourth generation and future oenologist, they represent the faces behind the production of Travaglina farmhouse wine • "This is not a job. It’s a lifestyle that turns sacrifice into passion and hard work into satisfaction."

• Our wines are produced only from grapes of our vineyards, planted with the traditional and historical vines of our region: Croatina, Pinot Nero, Barbera, Riesling, Cortese, Pinot Grigio • Making high quality grapes simplifies our job in the cellar and allows us to preserve and offer our products to wine lovers with the aromas and flavors of our territory and our tradition. • After researches to find the best “cru” among our 30ha land we discovered we can produce wine by vinifying single vineyards such as Casaia, Psei and Vigna delle Rocche. • The content of sulphites in all our wines is less than the 50% of the allowed legal content • Quality, enhancement of the terroir, drinkability, healthiness: these are the essential characteristics of our wines, which we try to improve with every harvest
