from ours olive groves

The Oil

The oils produced in the Bignotti’s olive groves, placed along the hillside next to the vineyards, are pure and delicate oils, that derive from the cold pressing of the olives, harvested only by hands.

The pressing takes place within the forty-four hours from the olives’ collection, with a process temperature always below the 27 degrees, in order to fully preserve the extraordinary characteristics of these wonderful products.

Cantina Bignotti

I Cultivar delle Volte


The wine-cellars are placed in the village historical centre as well, just a few meters from the Davine’s waterfall. From 1998 to 2017,all the production and refinement processes were carried out in the ancient cellars from the 15thcentury, now used only for the last steps of bottle aging, packaging and tastings.


Production


Today,in fact, all the main phases of production and bottling are undertaken in the new winery, that is located inside a luxurious park conceived by the botanist Ottone Penzig in the 19thcentury.It deals with a cellar built in the 1970s, with a single nave carved into the rock.


Cantine


Inside it, it is possible to find two areas: the first department,equipped with steel and concrete barrels for the vinification and the first aging; and the second one,provided with wooden barrels where the produced wines rest until when they are ready to be bottled.
