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. Read more
