Founded by Serafino Enrico, an entrepreneur and landowner, the winery soon became one of the most important in Piedmont and among the first to spread the region's classic wines throughout Italy and abroad. In addition to the classic Piedmontese wines of the area, first and foremost Roero, Arneis and Barbera, the company produces great Barolo and Barbaresco from grapes from the nearby Langhe, noble and elegant wines in which the Nebbiolo grape variety expresses its characteristics at its best. But Enrico Serafino's pride and joy is the selection signed 'Cantina Maestra', in which the red wines Pasiunà and Parduné stand out, the highest expression of excellence of the Roero territory, and the Metodo Classico Alta Langa DOC sparkling wines.

| Story | The 2013 vintage in Alta Langa was characterized by a cold and rainy spring, which slowed the vine’s vegetative cycle and delayed the phenological stages. Summer then stabilized with moderate temperatures, without excessive heat, accompanied by good day–night temperature variations, particularly favorable in the higher hillside areas. Pinot Noir benefited from slow and steady ripening, achieving an optimal balance between sugar content and acidity. The harvest, later than average, made it possible to pick healthy grapes that were well developed from an aromatic standpoint. |

| Wine making | Grape bunches are hand-sorted on a vibrating table and softly pressed in a nitrogen inert environment with yield in free-run must of 45%. This process is "100% screw conveyor free" to handle grapes as gently as possible. The must is fermented in stainless steel vats at controlled temperature and kept 6 months on lees with bâtonnage. |
