Vinification, winemaker's own words
- Soils:
- Clay, Limestone
- Terroir:
- The grapes Albarossa 100% come from our estate vineyards at an altitude of 250 m a.s.l.. The hillside, a 10% slope, has a North-East exposure. The soil is markedly alkaline, poor in organic substances. The site is characterized by a strong temperature range, while the surrounding skyline ensures long exposure to sunlight, causing early ripening. The vine planted is Albarossa, a variety obtained in 1938 by crossing Chatus (also known as Nebbiolo di Dronero) and Barbera.

My wife Giuliana and I personally manage over 11 hectares of vineyards in Canelli, in Piedmont, within a charming landscape on the border between Langhe and Monferrato, recently recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. As a winemaker, I oversee both the vineyards and the cellar, combining innovation with the traditions of Piedmont to enhance quality. Respect for the environment guides every choice we make, promoting sustainable practices that preserve biodiversity. Our production includes sparkling wines such as Alta Langa Metodo Classico, alongside Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Barbera d’Asti, Nizza, Albarossa, and Moscato Canelli, a sweet, lightly sparkling wine, typical of this land
