Mulberry tree in the courtyard of our winery.

Ecclesiastic documents dating back 1568 already testified the presence of Family “Bonato dei Bonati” in Negrisia, a land with settled and ancient tradition in the vine cultivation field.

The hundred-year-old mulberry tree is a witness of the past, standing as a stately sentinel of the wine cellar, for hundreds of years an ancient example of traditional wine growing in the region, with the “Raggi a Belussi” (a training system invented by the Belussi family with vines disposed like rays), of Rabose vines tightly attached to the mulberry trees.

The intuitions and far-sightedness of Bonato Family’s ancestors gave way to the necessary progress towards success in the vine growing and wine production field, while a mixture of passion, feeling and tradition allowed us to take on these achievements until nowadays.

The huge investments in order to renew the wine cellar and the vineyards are just a confirmation of the passion and care father Gino and his sons Luigi and Andrea dedicate to their wine production and their territory. Quality is the only aim of Family Bonato. A value conquered by sacrifice, courageous choices and obduracy. The same qualities we find in the grapes and in all the bottles.
