It is in this village of Lombard origin that Dario and Luciano Ermacora operate their winery. The estate is located in the D.O.C.

The land is interspersed with wooded areas populated with wildlife and a stream providing diverse ecology for the vineyards. The Ermacoras are absolutely fierce in their environmental program relying on an aggressive use of clover and dandelions to protect their vines The wine making is meticulous, showing great respect for the fruit and the tradition of these wines in the region.
