About the Winery...
The Peri Bigogno Estate is situated on the Castenedolo Hills between Brescia and the south-western shores of Lake Garda in Lombardy. The Estate was at one time a 17th century palace owned by the Togni family, a prominent family of Brescia. The Palace was built with a large wine cellar.. the entrance from the first floor marked by huge cascading marble steps into the cool dark gives the impression that the Palace was built around the cellar. It is befitting as winemaking has been at the heart of the families that have inhabited it. The philosophy of Peri Bigogno derives from a passion for the protection and preservation of a territory that has been at times at risk of losing its historical, agricultural, and wine growing identity. In alignment with this philosophy, the Peri family purchased another vineyard in the region to prevent the destruction of the surrounding land from mining.
Andrea Peri is the Principal of the Peri Bigogno and President of the Talento Institute of Wine.*
