Romans
played a main role at the first, for the actual world wide
production of wine, and these
selected producers are among the best one in matter of quality of wine d.o.c.
& food in Italy, and where traditions are profound
from Marcus Aurelius when started to spread technique
of viticulture in northern territories of Roman Empire, to
be sure that the troops could have their supplying of wine.
Since then, the intensive viticulture has been in a constant
expanding processing among regions of Germany, Austria and
Bordeaux till Spain.
As
well Olives trees has been growing in the middle east since 8000
years ago, and the best areas in the word are recognized as
Mediterranean zones, where the olives grow with fruits of
excellent taste and quality results, and again Romans had main
role for spreading intensive cultivations in the best areas of
Roman Empire, especially South-Center of Italy where we find the
high quality of Extra Virgin Olives Oil.
n
the Langhe, to be exact - in Barolo, in the heart of the
typical Barolo zone, stands our small winery which is
family-run and where we make wine produced exclusively
from grapes coming from our own vineyards that lie in one
of the best positions of La Morra: Brunate.
For around 60 years our family has used its experience
towards obtaining high quality wines while respecting
tradition and environment fully. Our work has always been
based on few and simple production rules, keeping all the
traditional passages that render our wines genuine and
unchanged.
Love and passion for these lands and these vineyards are
passed down from father to son and today Giancarlo and
Claudio work with their parents, Francesco and Giuseppina,
and check every step in the production of their wine and,
so doing, increase its value. Apart from Barolo, the
company produces Dolcetto and Nebbiolo.
