Cantine Bonelli
Overview
Our winery is located in the Trebbia Valley, the one that connects the Po Valley to Genua across the Ligurian Apennines. This hilly area constitutes a balanced ecosystem of vineyards alternated to woodlands and crops, making up a perfect model of biodiversity.
The gravelly soil is the most ancient of all the surrounding areas and is overlooked by majestic magmatic peaks such as the Pietra Parcellara, which stands out for its beauty.
Ortrugo and Malvasia di Candia are the two most common autochthonous vine varieties.
The breezy and crisp climate, the soil properties and the expertise of man produce grapes with unique aromas, then turned into truly authentic wines.
The connection to our territory and the commitment to sustainability have evolved in the production of exclusive wines. All our wines are DOC Colli Piacentini and are made with autochthonous grapes. Our pursuit of quality starts from the control of the whole supply chain, and is based on the balance between respect for traditions and openness to science and technology.
With our winemaker we verify each stage of production, which varies from wine to wine: Charmat Method for the sparkling whites, Traditional method for the red wines and Metodo Classico, our pride, dedicated to the founder Anacleto.
