  • Bottles produced: 110.000
  • Hectares: 21
Being "langoroli" (people who live in Langhe, a hilly area in the province of Cuneo in Piedmont, northern Italy) means having an indissoluble connection with the land, thw vines and the wine, so it was natural to draw from our roots in the vineyard since the early '900 with the purchase of land and vineyard.
Accommodate the screws with gestures and attentions, complicity and transportation, is a necessity that involves my whole family to return the character of our land to Barbera, Barolo, Dolcetto and Nebbiolo, which are the spontaneous fruit of our actions and our instinctive tendency.
My Piedmontese accent, the Spanish one of my wife, the shouting of my children are mixed and released into the sky with hope and momentum to each harvest, greeted from trees and made to those who want to know us.
