Description
Our estate is in the middle of the vineyards of the Cru Scarrone in Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of the DOCG Barolo area. Here, we rebuilt in the 80s the old farmhouse, the only one in the cru Scarrone, and dedicated its cellars to the production and refining of our Nebbiolo and Barolo wines. The grape comes from our five hectares vineyard surrounding the farmhouse. The vines are supported in their growth by the orientation that receives the morning sun, supporting a perfect maturation even in the warmest years The vineyard rises on a calcareous and clayey soil as in the best Langa cru, where elegant and long-lasting wines are born, balanced both in acidity and softness.

Today, the family estate extends in Monferrato and Langa, with fifty hectares of vineyards and twenty hectares of natural fields and woods, cultivated with the same awareness, care and attention of the olden times resulting in a sustainable agriculture with a reduced environmental impact.
Walking along the Bava vineyards, you will notice the grass clippings and the prunings used as natual fertilizers, the poles, all strictly made of wood coming from renewable forests or grassing between vine rows, which not only helps prevent soil erosion, but also serves as proof that no hebicides are used.
