La Ganghija was established as a winery after Enzo Rapalino, trained at the Scuola Enologica di Alba, decided to transform the family business from selling only grapes to producing wine directly. Since its founding the company has grown steadily, developing a range of wines that express the grapes of the hills of Treiso and the surrounding municipalities.
