From the slopes of Mount Ceneri, on the road from Cadenazzo to the old port of Magadino, stretched the commendam of Contone, one of the historical headquarters of theOrder of the Knights of Malta in Canton Ticino, now a hamlet of the municipality of Gambarogno.
In this long since reclaimed area, on deep, cool and sandy soils long dedicated to agriculture; from its vineyards, its noble and ancient grapes, as a tribute to the values of honesty, dedication, patience and loyalty to the land, the IL CAVALIERE winery is named.
