Thirty years of experience, courage and hard work for a wine family that, along with other pioneering producers, has made history in the Tortonese Hills.
Until the 1990s, management was done in the traditional way; it was with the arrival of Luigi, that the method and production were completely revolutionized. since 1992, in fact, Luigi Boveri, the founder’s grandson, with the help of his wife Germana decided to direct production exclusively toward viticulture, abandoning the cultivation of cereals and fodder.
"From those years began the winemaking that I like, That of the winemakers. Not "farmer’s" wine, badly made, not just industrial wine. A new Era began, that of wine made by an ‘artisan of the earth."
We follow production by making use of constant updates and all those technological innovations that allow us to transform grapes into fine wines of great class. Since 1999 we have been featured in all Italian wine guides, placing us at the top for producing high-level wines throughout the Colli Tortonesi hill community. Read more
