Azienda Agricola Lo Sparviere lies in Monticelli Brusati, in the heart of Franciacorta; a timeless place narrating a story of tradition and love for the land. Its name derives from the image of a sparrow hawk depicted over the majestic fireplace inside the manor house hall, the historic heart of the winery.

Lo Sparviere is housed in an ancient country residence dating back to the sixteenth century, owned by Mrs Monique Poncelet Gussalli Beretta, a resolute woman who was determined to recover the history and charm of this ancient corner of Franciacorta. Read more
