Ardito, 2016

Family run Business, lying in the “Oltrepò Pavese” district, for a total area of 6 hectares (14,826 acres) of vineyards, after the second half of the 19th century, it turns into a wine growing Business. Since the 70s has chosen a restructuring project aiming at the safe-guard of the traditional wine growing to comply with the environment and the end user. The philosophy basis of this Business, whose leader is Mr. Fausto, his wife Elizabeth,his son Augusto, besides the help of the boys called “Fuori dalla Mischia” (off-the brawl) is the respect for the others and a sharing network of the knowledge which makes easier the comparison and exchange. Manual labour, terrritory management and environmental protection are the basis for a responsible agriculture. The regaining of indigenous vineyards (such as Moradella, Barbera, Croatina, Vermiglio, Croà ..) and historical vineyards, complying with the territory propensity, and the use of the “Bottaia Didattica” (didactic barrells) (made in 2007 thanks to the skills of Garbelotto Business Concern), has been a decisive factor to deal with the issues concerning wood and the wine influence have been the essential elements to reach for our own concepts as for respect and balance.
