About the winery
Agricultural tradition since the thirteenth century, the Ricci Curbastro family runs farm estates in Rontana di Brisighella (Emilia-Romagna), and the homonymous farm estate of Capriolo in Franciacorta Of the 32 hectares of estate surface area, 27.5 are planted with vineyards according to the strict guidelines of Organic and Sustainable viticulture and of the Consorzio Vini Franciacorta, of which the estate is member from its foundation. In the secular park is located the underground cellar, where the fermentation processes and the slow aging of Franciacorta take place. The Ricci Curbastro Agriculture and Wine Museum is the result of more than 30 years of research carried out by Gualberto Ricci Curbastro. Inaugurated in July 1986, and continuously expanded over the years, the museum is a unique reality in Franciacorta that preserves, in the cottages of the Ricci Curbastro Farm Estate, thousands of objects, which are proof of the agricultural work of the past.
