The story
The winery was founded by a family of winegrowers in Bussia, Monforte d'Alba. The business began as an artisanal operation by converting a tractor garage and gradually developed its own vineyards in the Bussia area and Le Coste di Monforte, maintaining a family-run approach and later involving the children in management.
Production philosophy
Artisanal approach and meticulous vineyard care: hand-harvesting, attention to individual parcels and sustainable farming practices. In the cellar, extended macerations and aging are favored to highlight the expression of the terroir.
