Winery:
La Valle
La Valle, owned by the Pezzola family, is in Rodengo Saiano in the heart of the beautiful hills of Franciacorta. It is located in a region particularly well suited for viticulture, near a famous Olivetan monastery of the 11th century, a few kilometers from Lake Iseo and Brescia in Lombardy.
The historic vineyards of the company, cultivated with love, include La Valle, Roccolo, Bredina, and Tesa. They enjoy a unique and extraordinary microclimate and they produce high-quality grapes, rich in scent and taste, from noble vines of Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and Pinot Nero. In 1993 the first 3000 bottles of the millesime (a few bottles of which are still jealously guarded) were produced. La Valle: a fascinating world to discover, full of unique and unforgettable sensations.
