From this winery

• Start up year: 1989
• Oenologist: Alessandro Boido
• Bottles produced: 95.000
• Hectares: 12

Ca ‘d’Gal started here in Valdivilla . Over the years our ideas have grown and our passion strengthened, along with what has become our winery today. And through all of this, the past is the foundation that we have used to build upon and what we continue to use moving forward over time to create wines that truly represent our identity and our dreams.

The marriage of tradition and new experiences comes from the stories and memories of my father, specifically a dinner with some friends, the "seigiornisti" by Giacomo Bologna.

During that evening, as always relaxed and friendly, they told their stories, retracing their memories and different harvests. It was at that moment as I listened to them, I suddenly found myself thinking that those memories could become reality again. It was that night that I decided exactly which vineyards could fulfill my dream: the vineyard of Mr. Pierino Valdivilla and Brichet would become the "Vigna Vecchia" from Ca ‘D’ Gal .

From that long ago moment in 1990, the road has been long, intense and full of trials and research, testimonials and confirmations but today, tasting our wines, visiting the winery or by sitting with us at the table in our agritourismo, you will find all these experiences and the understand of our history .
