Winery Profile
- The estate “La Tosa” was founded in 1980 by the brothers: Stefano and Ferruccio Pizzamiglio, with the purchase of 16 hectares of land on the hillsides of Vigolzone, in Val Nure, an ideal location for the production of fine wines. The vines were planted on 10 hectares from 1980 to 1983 and the winery was built in 1985. From the beginning the objective of this winery was to arrive at producing high quality wines with unique characteristic, so they focused only on dry wines and no frizzante as many winemakers have produced in Emilia Romagna.
- The philosophy in the vineyard can be summarized as: working to obtain the maximum concentration, complexity, personality and aromatic richness in the grapes, in order to then transfer these qualities to the wine, with maximum respect for the balance and health of nature.
