If you're looking for information about Stato Brado, curious about its story, or searching for a place to taste its wines, you've come to the right place.

At Palazzo Novello, our guests can now enjoy two wines from this small artisan winery located in the Brescia countryside, between the rolling hills of Gussago and Franciacorta.

We selected these wines because they tell a story of respect for nature, handcrafted production, and a genuine passion for the land.

What is Stato Brado?

Stato Brado is a small family-run winery based in Cellatica, near Brescia, with vineyards located on the hills of Gussago.

Its philosophy is simple: produce only the kind of wine they would proudly serve on their own table.

Rather than focusing on quantity, the winery is committed to creating authentic wines that truly reflect their origin and the people behind them.

Why is it called "Stato Brado"?

One of the most frequently asked questions about the winery is the origin of its unusual name.

"Stato Brado" comes from a nickname that Matt the Farmer's grandfather used when he was a child.

He would affectionately tell him:

"You're completely wild."

It described his free spirit, his curiosity, and his deep connection with nature.

Today, that expression perfectly represents the philosophy of the winery: living and working in harmony with the land.

Where are Stato Brado's vineyards?

Although the winery is based in Cellatica, its vineyards are located on the beautiful hills of Gussago, an area well known for its winemaking tradition.

Only a few hectares are cultivated, following one clear principle:

Leave the land in better condition than it was found.

This commitment results in sustainable farming and carefully crafted wines that express the character of the territory.

How many bottles does Stato Brado produce?

Only around 5,000 bottles every year.

While this may seem like a small production, it is precisely what allows the winery to maintain exceptional quality standards.

Every bottle receives the same care and attention as if it were intended for the family's own table.

Why are Stato Brado's wine labels so unique?

The labels are one of the winery's most distinctive features.

Each one is an original artwork created and signed by the artist Elisa.

The illustrations feature animals that are part of everyday life at the winery, such as the hare featured on Legor and the Ouessant ram, symbolising the close relationship between nature, animals and wine.

Each bottle tells its own story before it is even opened.
