The winery was founded at the end of the 1800s by Count Emanuele Alberto of Mirafiore, son of Vittorio Emanuele II and La Bella Rosin.
Since 1878, Casa E. Di Mirafiore has been overlooking this UNESCO world heritage landscape with his estates in Barolo and Serralunga, the heart of one of the world's most famous wines: Barolo.
It is also thanks to Casa E. Di Mirafiore that the world is aware of Barolo. It is in fact the first winery to export Barolo worldwide.
This estate is synonymous with quality, as it is home to two of the best Cru vineyards in the Langhe: Lazzarito (on one of Serralunga d'Alba's most magnificent slopes) and Paiagallo.
In this town, Serralunga d'Alba, tradition is never forgotten. Even today, the style of Casa E. Mirafiore is defined by fermentation in concrete tanks and enormous Slavonian oak barrels for ageing. Read more

| Harvest | The grapes, harvested into small 20 kg crates, are brought immediately into the cellar. |
| Wine making | If necessary, they are cooled in a cooling cell to a temperature of 12/15 °C and then pressed. They are not subject to traditional destemming in order to prevent the stems from being damaged and to very gently extract only the free-run juice. The must decants in the tank for 24/36 hours, during which time the coarser sediments settle and are separated from the must by racking. At this point, the clear must is brought to a temperature of 16 °C to facilitate the start of alcoholic fermentation, which usually lasts at least three weeks. |
| Aging | The wine is racked between eight and ten days after the completion of fermentation and remains on its fine lees until the beginning of spring, when preparation for bottling begins. |
| Allergens | Contains sulphites |
