Giulio Cocchi completaCocchi’s original products and recipes was well-known during Belle Epoque and on the versatile scene of the Futurist period. Cocchi’s products and name were soon spreading worldwide, as shown by exportation documents to New York, London, Sydney, Colonial Africa and Venezuela, where the "Casa Cocchi de Venezuela" was founded and run for a long while in Caracas.
Since 1978, Giulio Cocchi is owned and operated by the Bava Family, themselves highly renowned wine producers in Monferrato and Langhe. Today the winery still maintains its artisan character and follows the original recipes, formulated by Giulio Cocchi in 1891, to craft the distinctive wines that have made the Cocchi a cult name. Among the results of last 30 years, the defense of Barolo Chinato from forgetfulness and the relaunch of Vermouth di Torino category. Storico Vermouth di Torino since 2011 has been the driving force for the rebirth of the top-of-the-range Vermouth di Torino on the international scene. Not to be forgotten the attention for the sparkling wines, with the committment for the valorization of Alta Langa DOCG.
