Information
Agricultural tradition since the thirteenth century, the Ricci Curbastro family runs the Rontana estate in Brisighella, and the homonymous estate in Franciacorta. Of the 34 hectares of estate surface area, 32 are planted with vineyards according to the strict guidelines of modern viticulture and of the Consorzio Vini Franciacorta of which the estate is member since its foundation. In the secular park is located the underground wine-cellar, where the fermentation processes and the slow aging of Franciacorta take place. Inside the farmhouses of the estate is located the Wine Museum, a unique reality in Franciacorta that preserves thousands of objects that testify the work of the past.
