Lombardy
Lombardy is the most populous, richest and most productive region in the country. 16.2% of the national population (10 million people) live there and create 21% of the total GDP.
The region is an important producer of wines but not really well recognized except Franciacorta or Valtellina.
If Italy is known for its spaghettis, Rice is very popular in the region, often found in soups as well as risotti, such as “risotto alla milanese”, with saffron. Butter is used, no olive oil!
The region is famous for its historical figures such as Virgil, Caravaggio, Claudio Monteverdi, Antonio Stradivari and popes John XXIII or Paul VI.
Majolini
The Maiolini family has been connected to wine since the 15th century.
The family traces their roots to Ome, a unique place located on the northeastern border of Franciacorta.
The red grape variety Majolina is a testament to the long history of the family in this region. It has been recently recognized as a variety indigenous to Lombardy.
Today, the Majolinis own 24 hectares. For almost twenty years the winemaking process has been shared by Cesari Ferrari from Franciacorta and Jean-Pierre Valade from Champagne, France.
Majolini obtained organic certification of their vineyards in 2016 after practicing sustainable viticulture since 2012.
100% of energy sources are renewable and CO2 free.
