From this winery
  • Start up year: 1886
  • Oenologist: Giorgio Conterno
  • Bottles produced: 180.000
  • Hectares: 37
Our family has been dedicated to viticulture for four generations. My great-grandfather Paolo started this activity in 1886, which then passed on to my grandfather Carlo. Today the owner of the estate is my father, Paolo, helped by my mother, Caterina, my sister Marisa and me, Giorgio.

As in the past, each one of us today contributes to the cultivation of the vineyards with great care and commitment. In the past people made use of the few means they had, of manual labour, perseverance and stubbornness. Modern technology helps to save much hard work, and with the experience accumulated over the years, it is possible to do things better and gain great satisfaction and new incentives from our work.
