Alessio Brandolini's company was founded in 1873, in the municipality of San Damiano al Colle, thanks to Carlo Brandolini, his great-grandfather. The business was then continued by his son Aristide and later by Costante, father of the current owner Alessio. Later, the latter, freshly graduated, took over the management of the company, full of ideas and enthusiasm after long experiences in the most important wineries. The Azienda Agricola Alessio Brandolini is a member of the FIVI - Federazione Italiana Vignaioli Indipendenti (Italian Federation of Independent Winegrowers), a non-profit organisation that protects and enhances the figure, work, interests and technical-economic needs of the Italian independent winegrower. No synthetic fertilisers are used in the vineyard, high planting density: a high number of vines per hectare to increase competition between vines and reduce the quantity of grapes per plant, permanent grassing. In the cellar, cryomaceration, long maceration, barrel and bottle ageing are carried out. The Oltrepò Pavese is a generous land, which allows different varieties of wine to be produced well. The labels that characterise the wines are all designed by Beppe Pasciutti, an Italian artist originally from Lomellina.
