About Ferghettina
Founded in 1991 by Roberto Gatti in Adro, Ferghettina is a relative newcomer that has established a strong reputation for honest, well-priced Franciacorta. The estate farms around 65 hectares of calcareous-clay soils, and exports are now handled by Roberto’s daughter Laura Gatti.
House Style
Generous and food-friendly — textured without being heavy, with a warmth that reflects the Adro terroir. Among those who know the appellation well, Ferghettina is frequently cited as the best value in the region.
