Ricci Curbastro Azienda Agricola

The Ricci Curbastro family, with a deep agricultural tradition dating back to the 13th century, manages farm estates in Lugo di Romagna, Rontana di Brisighella, and the renowned Franciacorta region in Capriolo. Spanning 32 hectares, 27.5 of which are dedicated to vineyards, the estate adheres to the rigorous standards of the Franciacorta Wine Consortium. Within the estate, Villa Evelina houses an underground wine cellar for fermenting and aging Franciacorta DOCG wines, alongside the Ricci Curbastro Agriculture and Wine Museum, which showcases centuries of agricultural history.

Ricci Curbastro produces a diverse range of wines including Franciacorta, Curtefranca DOC, and Sebino IGT. The wines undergo initial fermentation in stainless steel vats or barrels, followed by a traditional Franciacorta method “en tirage” process, where a second fermentation occurs in bottles. The wines are aged for at least 30 months on the lees, followed by disgorgement and the addition of a liqueur produced on-site. This meticulous process results in refined and elegant wines that reflect the heritage and quality of the Ricci Curbastro estate.
