Historia

Our winery was established in 1986 in La Morra, a town in the heart of the Langhe that has always been renowned for the greatness of its vineyards, some of which were mentioned in town records going back as far as 1250.

 

We began with 2 hectares, and over the years have managed to acquire the most prestigious, historic crus for the production of Barolo, such as La Serra, Brunate, Cerequio, Sarmassa, Rocche dell'Annunziata and Fossati, and excellent vineyards for Dolcetto, Barbera, Nebbiolo and Merlot.

 

We then decided to increase the number of vines in the new vineyards, and in some of the old ones, to 6000/8000 per hectare and reduce yield for the most prestigious wines to 500/700 grams per plant. The clusters we leave on our vines are exclusively responsible for the quality of our wine.

 

We have always worked in the traditional way in the cellar, with total simplicity at every stage from vinification to bottling, with no interference, letting the diversity of each terroir emerge and giving each vineyard the chance to make its own wine. Our production is limited: with just over 20 hectares we produce between 40,000 to 60,000 bottles, depending on the harvest.

Viiniviljelykset

For more than twenty years, our vineyards have been worked with the greatest respect for nature. After every harvest, the vines are fertilized by hand with cow manure or humus, depending on the needs of each plant as judged from the colour of the leaves and the intensity of the vigor.  No chemical fertilizers, weedkillers, fungicides or other substances are used that can interfere with the vegetation cycle of the vines or ripening of the grapes.

 

Vines are pruned heavily in winter, leaving between 5 and 8 buds on each plant. The first thinning-out begins towards mid-July when more than 50% of the grapes are removed, leaving 5 clusters per plant. A second thinning-out is done around mid-August, when the size of each cluster is reduced by cutting off the bottom section and leaving only the fuller, more concentrated upper section. In this way, we obtain very low yields that vary between 500 grams and 1 to 1.5kg per plant. 

 

This, and other small tricks, means that every year we harvest very healthy, ripe grapes rich in sugar, aromas and scents that are then transferred to the wine during fermentation. In conclusion, our wines are always exclusively the expression of the terroir, and at every harvest their nuances perfectly reflect the story of the season's weather conditions.

Viinivalmistus

No substances that can alter the characteristics of the wine (increasing the colour, structure, scent or tannins etc.), are used in any of the various processes in the cellar. Alcoholic fermentation lasts from 10 to 30 days, and occurs spontaneously, without yeast inoculation. After malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, all wines, except Dolcetto, are transferred to oak casks for a period of refining. At bottling, the sulphite content is usually less than 50% of the legal maximum; this is the only substance foreign to grapes in our wines. 

 

No wines are filtered. It is not time that makes a wine great, it is the qualities it was born with, but time definitely exalts the original great qualities. This is why we say our Barolo, Barbera d'Alba Riserva Pozzo dell'Annunziata and Merlot should not be drunk before 5 - 6 years refining in the bottle, after which they will continue to evolve slowly over 20-30 years as long as they are kept in optimal conditions. 

 

Although Dolcetto d'Alba, Nebbiolo Langhe and Barbera d'Alba Cerreto are simple wines, they have the virtue of ageing extremely well in the medium term. We have had many satisfactions over the past 25 years, and one of the greatest must surely be that of earning the trust of so many of the world's lovers of great red wines.
