Alessio Brandolini's company was founded in 1873, in the town of San Damiano al Colle, thanks to Carlo Brandolini, his great-grandfather. The business was then carried on by his son Aristide and later by Costante, father of the current owner Alessio. Later the latter, fresh out of college, took over the running of the business, full of ideas and enthusiasm after long experiences in the most important wineries. The Azienda Agricola Alessio Brandolini is a member of FIVI - Federazione Italiana Vignaioli Indipendenti (Italian Federation of Independent Winegrowers), a nonprofit organization that works to protect and enhance the figure, work, interests and technical-economic needs of the Italian independent winemaker. No synthetic fertilizers are used in the vineyard, high planting density: high number of vines per hectare so as to increase competition between vines and reduce the amount of grapes per plant, permanent grassing. In the winery, cryomaceration, long maceration, barrel and bottle aging are carried out. Oltrepò Pavese is a generous land, which allows for the good production of different varieties of wine. The labels that characterize the wines are all made by Beppe Pasciutti, an Italian artist originally from Lomellina.
