Small family-run business

Luca Archetti founded Il Dosso in 1997, realizing the dream of his father Augusto, who passed away in 1990, and of 5 generations of winemakers.

Luca is permeated by the idea of ​​an indissoluble relationship that should bind the land to its fruits: Franciacorta to its wines. And it is precisely on this philosophy that the company is based: rejecting “corrections” in the cellar in the face of an almost maniacal care of the vineyard and modern winemaking techniques. He knows the 10 hectares of vineyards like the back of his hand, he works there even 15 hours a day, following what nature asks.

The enhancement of the individual cultivars is another cornerstone of the Archetti philosophy: “My journey continues in the development of red grapes vineyards, we still breed ancient varieties of Merlot, we give space to wines now forgotten by the business and we use outdated plant layouts. ” In the land of bubbles, Archetti without any hesitation has chosen to give space to red wines. Varied production of Franciacorta and Vsq (9 types, mainly zero dosages) and enhancement of the historical product of the territory, red wine (10 types).
