About the estate
Brisighella · Romagna
Stefano Bariani bought Fondo San Giuseppe in 2008 after a decade working in other cellars, and runs it today with Mariagrazia Rizzati. Five hectares of vines sit at about 400 metres in Valpiana, above Brisighella, surrounded by woods that the estate treats as part of the vineyard’s ecosystem.
Farming is organic and the cellar work deliberately light. Bariani is one of the five founders of “Brisighella anima dei tre colli”, a group of producers building a shared identity for the Albana of these hills.
