Hints of dried roses, sweet spices, and small fruits. Brilliant ruby red color with light orange reflections. Dry, soft, almost velvety on the palate, great finesse, harmony, and elegance.

Luigi, while busy experimenting with and planting international varieties, always gave preference to the Langhe’s native variety, Nebbiolo, and to all the other local traditional grapes, such as Barbera, Dolcetto and Freisa. In more recent times, he kept pursuing Barolo’s traditional winemaking method by using large barrels.
Luigi was not only a winegrower. Driven by the passion for his land, he also grew hazelnut and peach trees and other typical fruits of the Langhe hills.
Today, after Luigi’s death, the winery is managed by his wife Lena and children Maria and Giovanni, who were named after their great-grandparents, with whom the winery’s history began. And so, tradition represents continuity, the common thread running through the past, present and future. Read more
