1701 is an adventure that, as often happens in the wine world, is born from the satisfaction of a group of friends. involved in the leading of one of the oldest companies in Franciacorta, by professional entrepreneurs they discover more and more linked to the country origins, emboding in the manifesto 1701 their idea of Franciacorta and viticulture.
The brothers Federico and Silvia Stefini formally found and lead today the project and the cellar of 1701. Together with their collaborators take care of the eleven hectares of one of the oldest wine properties in the history of a year old vineyard, trecetory four hectares surrounded by 11th century walls.
We work on the basis of a shared choice with conviction: the principles and methods of organic and biodynamic viticulture. This approach, away from all forcing and chemical intervention, is also a philosophy of life, a way to approach the vineyard, understand it and respect it in its life cycle until when, in the bottle, it expresses it full character. Virtue: first of all authenticity and maximum valorisation of the terroir, in all its expressions.
The current production of 1701 is about 50 thousand bottles.
