Mirko Bellia

The Climb

The co-founder role at Corte Bacaro has belonged to Mirko Bellia since 2009, when his place in the family enterprise became formal. That date marks the point at which inheritance, responsibility, and daily winery work came together in a single practice. The work reads as continuity rather than rupture: tending grapes, shaping wine, and maintaining a house style that holds across vintages. In the DOC Lison-Pramaggiore area, the family tradition did not end with the previous generation; it continued through a deliberate handover into the winery.

Today

The language is plain and operational: wine as a process of continual refinement, not a fixed endpoint. The focus stays on grapes, typicity, and the expression of place, with the winery’s identity held in the balance between inherited method and ongoing adjustment in each bottling.

Signature

Mirko's signature wines include Relevant 2021, Il Viaggiatore 2019, Tai 2021, Alidor 2021, and Refosco Dal Peduncolo Rosso 2022. The list shows the range of Corte Bacaro without leaving its frame: separate bottlings, same family and regional ground. Each vintage sits inside a house style that has to stay legible across wines while still giving each label its own shape. The work here is not about volume of gesture; it is about keeping the line consistent while allowing individual wines to read clearly.

In Their Words These statements place the work where it belongs: in the winery, in the family line, and in the steady adjustment of wine over time. One line describes the method — continual refinement aimed at typical varieties and the grapes behind them. The other fixes the timeline of the house, from the family’s work since 1950 to the 2009 founding of Corte Bacaro with Sergio. Together they define Mirko Bellia’s role as a continuation of inherited practice, carried forward through repetition, care, and exact attention to the bottle.
