History

The story of Corte Archi began over a century ago with Caterina, the wife of Carlo Campagnola. After Carlo's passing, she continued the family tradition of winemaking in Paverno. Following her death, their four sons took over, but by the 1960s, they decided to part ways. Guido Carlo retained the manor house and some vineyards in Valgatara.

In the 1970s, Giampaolo took the reins, maintaining traditional methods until the 1990s when Fernando, the current owner, joined his father in managing the winery. This marked the beginning of a transformation, introducing modern technologies in the cellar and adopting new vineyard practices focused on lower yields for higher quality grapes. Since 1995, Fernando has passionately led the family business, prioritizing the quality of grapes and wine while emphasizing environmental sustainability. Today, he works diligently to ensure that future generations can enjoy a thriving and healthy ecosystem.
