“Ronco Bianchi” can be seen on an old map of the city of Lugano dated 1849. “Ronco” from the latin “runcare” means to cultivate and describes in Ticino and much of northern Italy a place for wine growing. After careful restoration between 1998 and 2004, Ronco dei Bianchi, and its traditions offer a distillery and a cellar for our own wine production, a traditional restaurant, an agricultural museum and a Merlot vineyard. It is the intention of Ronco dei Bianchi to honour both of the industriousness of those who work the land and those who appreciate and respect it. Yours faithfully Edgar Fassbind and Ronco dei Bianchi Staff
