Winemaker
Teresio Schiavi (founder-oenologist); Alessandro Schiavi (cellar master)

Born in the province of Pavia June 3, 1949, the winemaker Teresio Schiavi moved to Franciacorta in 1978 and decided with a friend Giacomo Cavalli to start producing Franciacorta. Mirabella was born in 1979, originally a small company with a production of 8,000 bottles in the old textile mill in the country, which over time has been able to stand out and become one of the leading companies of Franciacorta. Today the winery covers over 50 hectares and produces 450,000 bottles.

The Mirabella Demeter Brut is an outstanding franciacorta with an intense with a sensation of honey, banana and yeast, fragrant vanilla. Low gassing and sugary syrup enhance its smoothness. Pleasantly sharp and good persistence.

Producer

Mirabella was founded in 1979 by oenologist Teresio Schiavi and friend Giacomo Cavalli inside an old spinning mill at Paderno Franciacorta, among the first houses to bet on the Franciacorta name. Today Teresio and his sons Alessandro and Alberto run 45 hectares of DOCG vineyard across Paderno, Passirano, Bornato and Provaglio d'Iseo, and are known for using Pinot Bianco (rare in Franciacorta) and for long lees ageing well beyond the DOCG minimums.
