The story
The property, already shown on an 18th-century map as "Cascina Corte", was purchased by the managers in 2001. After years of abandonment, the building and the vineyards were restored: vineyard work and the construction of a winery began in the early 2000s. The estate applied for organic certification in 2002 and received it in 2005; the family moved permanently into the farmhouse around 2008.
Production philosophy
The winery's approach prioritizes organic vineyard management, respect for the land, and minimal winemaking to showcase local grape varieties. In addition to stainless-steel vinification, the winery uses oak ageing and experiments with amphorae; the goal is minimal cellar intervention and bottles that express the Langhe.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards are located on the San Luigi hills near Dogliani, in the heart of the Piedmontese Langhe. The landscape is typically hilly and lies close to renowned areas such as Monforte d'Alba and the Dolcetto di Dogliani production area.
