Borgonato Big Bench

    The project/Das Projekt

    Borgonato’s “Big Bench” is a giant golden bench located inside the Berlucchi family’s property. It offers a wonderful view of Franciacorta and the vineyards.

    The activities of the “Big Bench Community Project” (BBCP) – of an exclusive non-profit nature – provide both technical support to those who want to build a new official Big Bench, and collaboration with the excellence of local craftsmanship to create products inspired by them, which can give a little contribution to the local economy and tourism, in the sign of the positive spirit that the Large Benches bring to this area. A part of the proceeds of each sale, such as donations made by those who build a new bench, is donated to the municipalities involved and destined to support local communities.

    “We hope to see many more Large Benches built to make us feel like children again when we climb them, and that new visitors come to this area to enjoy the spectacular landscape view” – Chris Bangle.

The route continues through the buildings of the historic wine cellar and in the vineyards. At the end of the surrounding wall, keep left following the signs until you reach the hill with the golden bench from which you can admire the Franciacorta vineyards.
