About Vigneti Cenci
The Vigneti Cenci vineyards are located in Cologne, in the Franciacorta area, and are spread across the foot of Monte Orfano, a splendid promontory that cradles our vines and brings character to our grapes.
Monte Orfano is south-facing and benefits from mineral subsoil, making it the perfect terroir for maturing our Pinot Bianco grapes, the jewel in our winery’s crown. It was Nelson Cenci – a physician and writer who served in the Alpini Corps – who came up with the idea of restoring La Boscaiola and its wines to their former splendour, thus breathing new life into a wine-making activity that has always characterised this little corner of the Franciacorta area.
