Broni was for me a synonym of photography because of its Oltrepo Photographic Association, which for forty years has been organizing, among other activities, a photo contest. When my interest switched from photography to wine, Broni remained at the center stage this time because it is home to a chapter of Italian enological history, the Maga family, and Barbacarlo wine.
French would define this as a cru monopole, a small hill with a 70% incline, a few hectares that have been in the Maga family for over 150 years since Uncle (Barba in local dialect) Carlo (Charles) left his vineyard and all his land—the entire hill—to his nephews as inheritance.
