Our Story
Seven generations.
One obsession.
Since 1783, the Franchi family has tended these varieties in the hills above Bergamo in northern Italy. Not one of those years passed without someone in the family caring deeply about quality, flavour and vitality. BloomySeeds stocks that seed here in Ireland, including the authentic Vintage 1928 collection.
