The wines of the Fattoria il Gambero are born of the passion
of the owners who, ably assisted by their own staff, pursue
a very precise objective: to enhance the typical characteristics
of the combination of their soil and climate while maintaining
the highest standards of quality through a judicious blend of
the most modern technology and the most careful workmanship.
With this philosophy and meticulous work in the fields and wine
cellars, the Ferrario family is committed to creating the finest
wines, seeking always to find the best price/quality ratio.
When Vittorio Ferrario was creating his range of wines, he wanted
to pay a special tribute to his father Paolo, his grandfather
Vittorio and to their shared passion for horses. All Fattoria
il Gambero wines are named after some of the memorably impressive
thoroughbreds that have, from the mid 20th century to the present
day, written the history of the family’s prestigious stables.
That is why Bobinò, a bay foaled in 1949 and the stable’s
foundation stallion, gave his name to our Chardonnay. The Bonarda
is named after the 1961 chestnut mare Alborada. Two other magnificent
bays were chosen to bring good fortune to two great wines so
Kafìr is now our Riesling and Tinterosse is our Pinot
Nero. Finally, the 1966 chestnut stallion Bacuco, an authentic
champion with an exceptional race record, gave his name to our
great Rosso Oltrepò.
