From this winery
  • Start up year: 1952
  • Oenologist: Giuliano Corino
  • Bottles produced: 50.000
  • Hectares: 9
In 1952, Celeste Corino moved with his wife and children to the village of Annunziata di La Morra, Cuneo, Piedmont, working as a sharecropper on several farms in an area full of vineyards and fruit trees. Celeste's son Giovanni decided to follow in his father's footsteps by founding the current company, focusing more and more on vineyards.

Initially, most of the grapes produced were destined for sale. Then, in the mid-1980s, when Giuliano, Giovanni's son and owner of today's business, still very young, joined the company, the first hectolitres of Barolo were bottled.

In 1987, they embarked on an innovative wine-making path, maintaining the characteristic imprint of the terroir with thinning in the vineyard for better quality, short fermentations at a controlled temperature and ageing in small French oak barrels.

Today, the company cultivates 9 hectares of vineyards, in the town of La Morra, with an annual production of about 50 thousand bottles.
