Itinerary of Scanzorosciate
We start to proceed from Via San Pantaleone di Negrone towards Via Del Cornone to reach the vineyards where the vine from which the Moscato di Scanzo is produced is grown.
Moscato di Scanzo is a wine made from the vinification of grapes coming from a vine selected in the 1970s
Vine cultivation dates back to the pre-Roman period.
The DOCG (controlled and guaranteed origin) Moscato di Scanzo is the smallest in Italy: the production area is limited to a portion of the Municipality of Scanzorosciate (Bg) and there are 39 producers.
The village opens up into a hilly landscape
A green lung of great naturalistic depth that has allowed many citizens to leave the nearby capital, to immerse themselves in the quiet of these silent and very sunny places.
The vineyard area does not exceed 31 hectares, with a wine production just over 60,000 bottles per year.
The Moscato di Scanzo wine is vinified in purity (100% Moscato di Scanzo vine).
Mr. Angelo Pievani, winemaker, has dedicated his years with great passion to the cultivation of vines and the production of wines, some of which are truly exclusive and capable of being defined as "author's wines".
Year of foundation 1990, possible direct sales of wine and the bottles produced are 10,000
San Pantaleone di Negrone (XIII century)
Expanded in the fifteenth century and restored in the years 1979-1980: works that have restored the ancient splendor to the complex; inside there are paintings of the seventeenth century. Interesting six seventeenth-century paintings inspired by the miracles of San Pantaleone by an unknown author.
They have recently improved the access of Via del Cornone which facilitates the passage to the vineyards.
Despite this it is not a place visited because it has few attractions for tourists and is an area isolated from the rest of the country, therefore not very visible.
