From this winery

• Start up year: 1836
• Oenologist: Flavio Polenghi
• Bottles produced: 250.000
• Hectares: 41

In the heart of Franciacorta, in Camignone, lies the centuries-old residence with its 16th-century cellars and adjoining land, which bears witness to the long winemaking tradition that the Barboglio family inherited in 1836.

Emanuela Barboglio developed this wine vocation by planting the first specialised vineyards and adopting the new DOC Franciacorta appellation in 1968.

In 1976 the name 'Azienda Agricola Barzanò Barboglio' was abandoned in favour of the current 'il Mosnel', a dialectal toponym of Celtic origin meaning 'pietraia' in Italian, i.e. a heap of stones, on which the company stands.

At the helm of Il Mosnel is the fifth generation of winegrowers, Emanuela Barboglio's sons: Giulio Barzanò takes care of the technical, production and commercial side; while Lucia Barzanò is in charge of marketing, external relations and administration. The family business is supported by a highly trained staff and experienced agronomists and oenologists who constantly follow production and its evolution. Read more

Harvest	By hand, with small crates between the last week of August and the first decade of September.
Wine making	Vinification in white in pneumatic press with separation of the first and second pressing. After 12 hours of decanting at 13°C. The inoculation of selected yeasts is carried out for fermentation partly in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks and partly in small oak barrels (30%). Malolactic fermentation and racking precede the blending of the Cuvée, which in March, after adding the "liqueur de tirage", is bottled, corked with the crown cork and laid down in the stack for the second fermentation.
Aging	The stacked bottles remain 30 months in the company's 17th-century cellars before 'remouage'. Subsequently disgorged and dosed with the same wine, they receive the mushroom cap and cork. At least three months of further ageing are finally required before this Franciacorta is put on the market.
Allergens	Contains sulphites
