Fumagalli SA

The passion for our beautiful land, a unique territory, the respect for nature and the environment, are values that are fully manifested in our wines.

Our history Founded in 1923 by Giuseppe Fumagalli, the company initially dealt with both the importation of foreign wines and the production of local wines. Over the years, our activity has been increasingly oriented towards the production of Ticinese wines, with grapes from vineyards in the Mendrisiotto area, most of which are managed independently. Today the company deals exclusively with the vinification of grapes obtained from about 7 hectares of vineyards under direct management.

Our passion Our wines tell the story of a special territory. The national and international awards that our wines have received in recent years are proof of a job done with passion, to which we dedicate ourselves with a heart and a smile.

Viticulture "Good wine is made in the vineyard". Our vineyards are cared for directly by the company with qualified staff according to the methods of integrated pest management. Our great respect for the environment and the living beings that inhabit it has led us to undertake a further challenge, directing us towards a clear conversion to organic production. The conversion period will begin with the 2021 harvest, but already for the 2020 harvest we have taken many steps in this direction.
