About Quila
Information provided directly by the winery.
Information
Quila is a small experimental project based in Neive (Barbaresco region), with vineyards spread across the Langhe and Roero, certified organic since 2023. A small portion of the grapes is purchased from other local winegrowers. The winery is a member of FIVI. The Langhe vineyards are certified "Sorì Eroici" (Heroes of the Hills) with slopes ranging from 39% to 51%. The Roero vineyard has an official State classification as a "historic and heroic vineyard", with slopes ranging from 62% to 69% and is worked totally manually. Most of the wines are experimental: Orange, Pét-Nat, amphora, "wet" carbonic maceration, and others. The Barbaresco, Roero Bianco, and Roero Rosso are more classic.
