Sant’Egidio Farm is located in the Fontanella basin of Sotto il Monte Giovanni XXIII, in the province of Bergamo, with a privileged view over the Po Valley. It extends over three hectares of terraced vineyards on the slopes of Monte Canto, together with an area planted with olive trees, from which a small production of highly fragrant extra virgin olive oil is obtained using four cultivars typical of the Lombard lakes: Pendolino, Casaliva, Leccino and Frantoio. The family-run farm is committed to safeguarding the land and producing quality products. Managed according to organic methods, all operations here, from winter pruning to harvest, are carried out by hand, with careful control of yield per hectare and quality, in order to obtain healthy, flavourful grapes that express in the glass the result of a season, a culture and the identity of the territory.
The winery’s tasting area is open every Sunday from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm for brunches, afternoon snacks and tastings featuring the farm’s own products and local specialities. To offer full hospitality, the agriturismo also has nine comfortable rooms where guests can enjoy outstanding views.
The farm is open every day by appointment.
