Talking about truly small and young Producers making wines that stay in you mind and memories forever...here we go:
TOGNI REBAIOLI @tognirebaioli
40km from Franciacorta lies Valcamonica, a region known better for history than wine, it was the rst site in Italy to become a UNESCO monument due to the petroglyphs found in the area. Enrico Togni is a name few know, but those who do see him as a visionary and pioneer in one of northern Italy’s most underrated areas. It was in 2001 when Enrico decided to leave law school and follow his dreams of becoming a farmer. He inherited 1.5 hectares from his grandfather and purchased another 1.5 hectares in this rather unknown mountainous region of Lombardy. His vision of creating soulful wines from what many would consider to be poor soil and incredibly challenging terroir has resulted in his relentless determination to better himself and his craft. Today, he maintains the same philosophy and mindset.
