Producer : | Quote Feliciano: "To make a good wine you need the best technologies, to grow old you have to honor traditions". Feliciano Gialdi celebrated his 60th anniversary in 2013 in the winery that his father Guglielmo founded back then. Today he already runs the company together with his daughter Raffaella. Thanks to considerable and continuous investments in the wineries in Mendrisio and Bodio, Gialdi Vini - which also includes the companies Brivio (since 2001) and Zamberlani (since 2006) - processes almost a million kilograms of grapes into wine every year. The wide range of Gialdi products mainly consists of Sopraceneri wines; The grapes that form their “raw material” are purchased by over three hundred winemakers from the lower Leventina, the Riviera and the Blenio Valley, who have been vintners with love and passion for generations. |
Region: | The long history of viticulture in Ticino goes back to the time of the Roman Empire. Understandable, since the main trade routes in antiquity led through Ticino via the Gotthard to Central Europe. The first records already exist in the writings of Pliny the Elder around 79 AD In Ticino, the sun room of Switzerland, over 80% of the rows of vines are stocked with the French Bordeaux grape Merlot. Pinot Noir, Bondola, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Diolinoir and Gamaret are also widespread, but in tiny amounts. The white varieties are Chardonnay and Chasselas that dominate. The region can be divided into two parts, the Sopraceneri, north of Monte Ceneri and the south Sottoceneri. In Sopraceneri, the soils are sandy but still permeable to water, with a high proportion of organic substances. In southern Sottoceneri, the soils are heavier, interspersed with more clay and therefore less permeable to water. The Val Mesolcina / Misox also belong to Ticino in terms of viticulture. |
