The story
Founded by Luigi Nervi in 1906, the winery has deep roots in the production of Nebbiolo from Alto Piemonte. During the 20th century the Nervi family expanded the vineyards and began marketing single-cru bottlings. In 2011 Norwegian investors joined the ownership, and subsequent management and quality developments led, from 2018, to the involvement of Roberto Conterno in the ownership and management of the winery.
Production philosophy
Traditional work with Nebbiolo, with vineyard interventions aimed at limiting manipulation, traditional fermentations and long ageing in large oak casks. A conservative cellar approach aimed at highlighting the terroir and the wines' longevity.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards located on the slopes of the Alpine Arc at the foot of Monte Rosa; soils rich in clay and volcanic gravel that impart minerality and structure to the Nebbiolo grown in the historic crus Molsino, Valferana, Garavoglie and Casacce.
