A love story lasting 90 years

Since 1930, we have been cultivating the fields of Ascona with passion.

The fertile land of the Maggia Delta has been cultivated and protected for 90 years. Ever since Emil Bührle acquired the Terreni alla Maggia estate in 1942, the owners has taken responsibility for ensuring that this beautiful oasis on the western shore of Lake Maggiore is always farmed in a sustainable way.

Fabio Del Pietro, Agronomist ETH, Director of Cantina alla Maggia

In the Maggia Delta we are blessed with a unique microclimate and an incomparable biodiversity. It is our duty to take care of it.
