In 1983, Vincenzo's passion and vision brought him back to his hometown, where he fell in love and bought "Il Fontanile," a jewel set in the hills of Gandosso just a stone's throw from Bergamo, in the heart of Valcalepio, Lombardy.

This ancient vineyard, surrounded by the historic houses of the village, becomes the stage for his adventure: from beekeeping, with the creation of more than 600 hives, to the birth of "Josefine," a prestigious line of cosmetics derived from the precious gifts of bees, also available in pharmacies.

But it is in wine that Vincenzo's heart beats faster. The modest initial production, the result of careful care of the vineyard and meticulous winemaking and maturation techniques, soon earns prestigious wine awards. These successes fueled Vincenzo's dream of transforming "Il Fontanile" into a large winery and an elegant agritourism, "Il Fontanile Relais - Valcalepio Lounge," becoming a must-visit destination for those seeking a wine-tasting experience in Lombardy or wishing to sleep in the winery for a unique experience.

Cantina Tallarini stands out for its solid Bergamo tradition, combining the production and maturation of excellent wines with a warm welcome for visitors. With three dedicated rooms-processing, storage and tasting-and an aging capacity for 240,000 bottles a year, it offers a unique sensory journey into the world of wine. Each Tallarini wine is born from a passion for quality, from the manual selection of grapes to the soft pressing and cryo-maceration, to the use of barrique and tonneau for great wines and steel for cooler whites.

The "wine tasting experience in Bergamo" is in Valcalepio at Tallarini's, an invitation to discover the magic of wine, where tradition and innovation come together to create wines of unparalleled quality.

For oenonauts looking for open wineries and an opportunity to "sleep in the cellar," the "Fontanile Relais - Valcalepio Lounge" offers an unforgettable stay, where hospitality meets the charm of a land rich in history and flavors.
