The origin of the name derives from the white stones (corna) with which the old farmhouse was built. A natural amphitheatre left neglected and uncultivated to the point that it was stigmatised as but a vestige of an ancient past.

Luigi Lancini, however, had always been fond of the area and eventually managed to purchase the land in 1968, despite being taunted by many. The hilly fields, after levelling to remove mounds and ditches, were subjected to deep tillage, tested and selected. The land was used to cultivate high-quality vines and build cellars; it also provided space for olive groves and orchards, and became the site of a dedicated fosterage.

Today, Cornaleto, a brand synonymous with prestigious wines, is proud to offer farmhouse holiday accommodation in a relaxing environment, with a large comfortable restaurant serving local specialties as well as creative dishes accompanied by fine wines; modern, bright, fully-equipped rooms, a cosy conference venue ideal for business conventions.

The accommodation is a haven of peace and serenity and the perfect place to meet up in this charming corner of Franciacorta.
