Case Vecchie

Case Vecchie is a biodynamic winery located in the Morainic hills of Monzambano, in the Lombardy region of Italy, close to Lake Garda. Founded by Paolo Ferri in 2010, the winery represents a shift from selling grapes to local cooperatives towards producing its natural wines. Paolo Ferri, alongside his sister Francesca, took over the farm from their father and transformed it into a holistic agricultural venture. In addition to wine, the farm produces honey, olive oil, ancient grains, and medicinal plants, all cultivated with organic principles. Their efforts focus on biodiversity and sustainability, emphasizing harmony with nature.

The winery is known for its low-intervention winemaking, where no chemicals, external yeasts, or additives are used. The wines are unfiltered and unfined, with little to no added sulfur. The vineyards are planted with varieties like Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Rondinella, and the wines are often bottled in 1-liter formats, reflecting their intention for everyday enjoyment. The soil in this region is diverse, influenced by both Alpine glacial deposits and the fertile plains of the Po Valley, giving the wines a distinct mineral character.
