ENJOY — VICO MORCOTE<br />

21<br />

A HISTORIC AND SUSTAINABLE TERROIR WINE<br />

Eden on<br />

Arbostora<br />

Bring together two women, love of the land, respect<br />

for nature and a passion for wine. All concentrated<br />

in a wine estate on a sun-kissed promontory<br />

overlooking Lake Lugano. A winning combination<br />

that produces high-quality wines.<br />

VICO MORCOTE<br />

Ticino boasts a varied landscape where vineyards unfurl through<br />

evocative settings. The Tenuta Castello di Morcote is undoubtedly<br />

one of them. After making your way through the main gate, the<br />

vineyard (7 hectares) unfolds before you in all its glory, located<br />

in a natural amphitheatre. At the centre is the winery – housed<br />

in a renovated old farmhouse and opened in 2020 – which runs<br />

entirely on solar power and operates on an organic (certified) and<br />

biodynamic basis. A little further on you can glimpse the ruins of<br />

the medieval castle rising up above the lake. A breathtaking setting<br />

for a vineyard that Gaby Gianini, estate owner, has managed to<br />

make sustainable over a period of just over 20 years. Together with<br />

oenologist Benedetta Molteni, she shares a love for the land and a<br />

vision of a cutting-edge winery, where grapes are vinified in the<br />

most natural way possible, combining innovation and ancestral<br />

rituals. Savouring wine has never been so magical.
