The winery is located in the municipality of Montecchia di Crosara (province of Verona) in the Italian region of Veneto. It was founded in 2002 by the married couple Marina Ferraretto and Sandro Tasoniero. The name (meaning "son of Bruno") symbolises the connection with the family and the local culture and tradition. The building, with pink Veronese marble floors, is built in the typical style of a farmhouse. It is arranged on three levels with a reception room with vaulted ceilings and a kitchen with fireplace in the basement as well as an underground barrel cellar with wine tasting room.
The vineyards cover 23 hectares of vines on volcanic soils and sedimentary rock soils of marine origin. They are nestled in the Soave area and the Lessini Mountains at an altitude of 150 to 600 metres above sea level. The highest and best sites include Monte San Piero and Cansignorio. The autochthonous white wine varieties Garganega and Durella are favoured, but the international varieties Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco (Pinot Blanc) and Pinot Grigio (Pinot Gris), as well as Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) and Cabernet Sauvignon are also cultivated. The vineyards are cultivated according to integrated, environmentally friendly and sustainable criteria, taking biodiversity (biological diversity) into account. This includes organic fertilisation and the complete avoidance of chemical products for plant protection.
The wein.plus encyclopaedia is a comprehensive, well-researched reference work. Available anytime and anywhere, it has become an indispensable part of teaching, used by students and myself alike. Highly recommended!
