Visconti Winery - Nicola Visconti & Valentina Fontanive

At Cantina Visconti we work our wines using ancestral methods for slow, manual and respectful production.

We are located at 250 meters above sea level in the Emilian hills, between Parma and Piacenza. We work mostly by hand, using the Simonith & Sirch pruning method and selecting the shoots in spring. We top-treat with sulfur and copper to protect the indigenous yeasts present on the grapes, the only yeasts we use. Harvesting is done by hand, and fermentation occurs spontaneously. In the cellar, we work without the use of any additives, intervening only through racking.
