Label / history

Francesco Folonari founded the winery in Valcamonica in 1825. In the mid-nineteenth century, he moved with his family to Brescia, in the foothills of the Alps, where he established a winery and began bottling as well as producing wine—an unusual practice during the latter half of that century.
