In 1180 the great-grandfather of Charles Balbo had fostered this company, which around 1950 was concentrated mainly in viticulture.

Today, the work is always meticulous in the vineyard, to enhance and bring out the potential of the great cru available to the company: Rio Sordo Barbaresco and Barolo for Cannubi Muscatel. And then the winery medium-long maceration. with a clever use of casks and barriques.

The elegance and the wine structure shows how much work there is behind these labels, and how is maintained over time.

Wine making Fermentation starts spontaneously and takes place at a controlled temperature of 28-30 °C for about 13 5 days. During this period, frequent and gentle pumping over allows the colour, noble tannins and most aromatic components to be gently extracted from the skins. Racking off takes place only when alcoholic fermentation is complete. Malolactic fermentation begins and is completed spontaneously before spring.
Aging Maturation in small oak casks of 25 and 35 hectolitres for 11 months allows the wine to fully evolve, stabilising the colour and refining the tannic sensation and aromas typical of this wine.
