From this winery
  • Start up year: 1841
  • Oenologist: Alessandro Locatelli
  • Bottles produced: 95.000
  • Hectares: 15
On 15th May 1841, the Police Office of the Royal Military Command of the city and province of Alba granted Luigi Costamagna, son of Francesco Antonio, a permit for the 'retail sale of wine [...] for the wine produced from the grapes of his vineyards' located in La Morra'. This is the first document attesting to the winery's oenological vocation. It was necessary because it sanctioned quantitative and geographical limits of the wines produced at the time, recognising to the Costamagna family a certificate of excellence within a specific territory, that of the municipality of La Morra. The winery's properties extended over the entire town. They even included the vineyards of the Rocche dell'Annunziata and the historic late 18th-century cellars built in the historic centre of La Morra.

In 1911, Francesco Costamagna won the Gold Medal at the Grand Prix of the Turin International Exposition: an award for having presented fifty years of uninterrupted production. On Francesco's death, his son Riccardo, a lawyer in Turin and Alba, continued to run the company with the help of his wife Maddalena.

Towards the end of the 1930s, following the death of Riccardo Costamagna, his wife Maddalena realised the value of the Rocche dell'Annunziata and the Lamorresi vineyards, passing them on to their children and grandchildren, who continued to cultivate and vinify them.

At the end of the 1960s, Maddalena's granddaughter, Claudia Ferraresi, took over the company's fortunes. A painter, a woman of great culture and an organiser of events, together with her husband Giorgio Locatelli, she decided to bet on Barolo and excellent wine production. These were hard years of bets and hopes, of intuitions and dreams. The vineyards were replanted and rationalised, and the historic cellars of La Morra were renovated and equipped with new oenological technologies. Read more
