The Barzanò family

Right from the active role in the business assumed by Rosina Rosa Cacciamatta, the last descendant of the Cacciamatta family of Camignone and wife of Pietro Barboglio, women have always played a prominent role in the vicissitudes of Mosnel, right up to the 1950s in fact. Emanuela Barboglio, educated and trained by her maternal aunt Nina, had to take over the reins of the family business at the age of eighteen, upon the death of her father. Those were difficult years, with the sharecroppers abandoning the fields for the cities, to find jobs in the factories.

Emanuela Barboglio decided to do exactly the opposite, moving from the city to Camignone. After the estate experimented initially with animal breeding, she contributed to the complete dedication of the enterprise to winemaking, with the first planting of premium vineyards and then, in 1968, with the extension of the recently-established DOC Franciacorta to her own wines.

In recent years Emanuela Barboglio has been joined in the management of Il Mosnel by her children. Giulio Barzanò is responsible for the technical, business, and production areas, working with the oenologists and consultants, while daughter Lucia Barzanò directs administration, marketing, public and press relations. Both participate in the important domestic and international wine and trade shows.
