Foligodia - Italy

Foligodia is led by the passionate Sharom Messori whose life and activities reflect her deep values in preserving and celebrating nature in all its forms. Her experience in winegrowing and winemaking started first by supporting her partner Antonio Camazzola when he started Pellagroso, growing and making biodynamic, natural wines. Having gained experience working alongside him, she then started to grow and make her own biodynamic wines: the Foligodia “project” is her creation.

Working as a team alongside Antonio, they are in the Northern Mantua Province (aka Mantova) in a very strategic position for wine growing since they are:

• just south of Lake Garda, a former glacier which deposited mineral rich soils to their lands

• just west of Valpolicella, a winemaking region known for the famed Amarone, and other well made Italian wines

• just east of Franciacorta, known for “Italian champagne.”

While their winegrowing area does not have any well known appellations, it is one of these behind-the-scenes wine regions that are ripe for discovery.

To Foligodia, with certified biodynamic wines, Sharom brings her own unique vision to life, crafting a complementary line of vibrant wines and other products, including special tisanas, or herbal teas. Her work embodies the same commitment to sustainabilty and crafting natural products, but with a fresh and distinct voice all her own.
