Tradition and Innovation in a Sustainable Franciacorta. All this, and much more, is Vezzoli, an interesting reality in Franciacorta. The company, in fact, has its roots in the winemaking tradition of Franciacorta, a land renowned for its sparkling wines. For over a century, the Vezzoli family has handed down the passion for winemaking from generation to generation. In 1994, with the landing in Erbusco, in the heart of Franciacorta, the production of quality wines began. Here, Giuseppe, Maria, Dario and Jessica Vezzoli run the family-run business, personally involved in every stage of the production process, from the vineyard to the cellar. One of the special features of the Vezzoli winery is the use of the SoloUva method, a revolutionary choice compared to the traditional Metodo Classico. Since 2008, the company has developed an innovative technique involving the exclusive use of grape must for refermentation, avoiding the addition of exogenous sugars such as cane sugar. This method, specifically designed for the climate of Franciacorta, allows the terroir to be exploited to the full, bringing the pure expression of the terroir into the glass: wines rich in fruit and with an enveloping structure, fully expressing the personality of the area. Vezzoli has also chosen to embrace a sustainable approach, thanks to the Cu-Free philosophy, avoiding the use of copper, traditionally used as a fungicide, to preserve the microbial life of the soil and minimise environmental impact. Copper, in fact, although effective against vine diseases, tends to accumulate in the soil, compromising soil quality in the long term. This approach allows the company to ensure clean production and environmentally friendly viticulture while sustaining high quality standards.
