History of Gandolfi family dates back to year 1000, when the first documents witness their presence in Oliveto, a countryside district of Valsamoggia (BO). Managing the vineyard was the main activity for the family, until grandfather Delio Gandolfi, in 1926, decided to move to the city and found one of the most iconic trattoria in Bologna: Osteria Gandolfi, today known as Osteria del Moretto. During the 50’s, Delio’s son Pier Luigi expanded the family business with the bottling process. In 1972, vineyard land is enlarged thanks to the addition of S. Paolo farm in Spazzate Sassatelli, and Loreta farm in Dozza, in 1990.
Today vines cover a land of about 30 hectares. Gandolfi Winery takes care of winemaking process, combining traditions with new technologies. For years, integrated farming with low environmental impact, organic manure and curated lawns have been used in this countryside.
Visitors will enjoy a natural path among vineyards, visit officinal herbs garden, walk through oak woods and forgotten fruit trees and have a pause by the spring water lake. Colors, smells and flavors of these lands are perfectly reflected in the bottles, wisely and masterly kept in the cellar. Wine is passion, tradition and culture.
