About Our Winery
15722 Falls Road, Sparks Glencoe, MD (410) 472-0703
Like many Italian immigrants, Bertero Basignani’s grandparents, Annunziata and Scandiano Bechini, brought the practice of home winemaking with them from Italy. Following in their footsteps, Bert aspired to carry on the family tradition. In 1974 he, and wife Lynne, planted 60 vines. In 1986, after winning many amateur winemaking judgings, and at the urging of friends who had sampled and approved of their wine, Bert and Lynne decided to take the plunge and start Basignani Winery.
