Yearning to fulfil his dream of creating his own wine, Paolo Radici, a native of Bergamo and pertaining to an industrial background, found in 1996 the ideal spot in Franciacorta. Here he started renovating the house once belonging to the great pianist Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli. In a few years next to the dwelling, surrounded by 10 hectars of lush vineyards, the winery came into being, an excellent example of efficiency and architectural splendour.
Year by year, Franciacorta and still wines are produced bearing witness to this bountiful territory. Ronco Calino enriches such area potential by its wish to create them without haste while honouring the territory itself, the vineyard and the fine wine lovers.
