Mosnel

The history of Mosnel is linked to the Barboglio family, who inherited the centuries-old residence with its 16th-century cellars and adjoining lands in the heart of Franciacorta in 1836. In 1968, Emanuela Barboglio planted the first specialised vineyards and adopted the newly-established DOC Franciacorta appellation for the first time. In 1976, the name 'Azienda Agricola Barzanò Barboglio' was abandoned in favour of the current 'Mosnel', a dialectal toponym of Celtic origin meaning 'pietraia', a heap of stones, on which the company stands. At the helm of Mosnel is the fifth generation of winegrowers, Emanuela Barboglio's sons: Giulio Barzanò takes care of the technical, production and commercial side; while Lucia Barzanò is in charge of marketing, external relations and administration. The family avails itself of the collaboration of a highly trained staff and experienced agronomists and oenologists who constantly monitor production and its evolution.
In the 16th-century cellars of the centuries-old estate, the long winegrowing tradition that the Barboglio family inherited in 1836 continues. With the newly-established Franciacorta DOC, the company has specialised in modern winemaking since 1968 under the expert guidance of Emanuela Barboglio. Today, her children, Giulio and Lucia Barzanò, collect this precious inheritance to hand it down renewed to future generations.
