The story
The Povero family has been rooted in the Piedmont region since the first half of the 19th century: land purchased in 1837, grandfather Bartolomeo planted vineyards in 1948, and in 1964 the sons began bottling under the family name. In the years that followed the estate expanded, and from the late 1990s it undertook conversion to organic viticulture, completed with certification covering the main vineyards.
Production philosophy
Sustainability and respect for the land guide the company's practices: organic vineyard management, conservation of woodlands to support biodiversity, and cellar practices aimed at reducing environmental impact while preserving the expressive character of the grape varieties.
