More questions
The Barolo DOCG of Valente, produced in the famous hilly area of the Langhe, authentically expresses the power and finesse of Nebbiolo, the flagship grape of this historic denomination. The grapes, hand-picked and processed with traditional methods, give life to a wine that ages in wooden barrels, developing an intense and enveloping aromatic complexity. On the nose, there are hints of faded rose, sour cherry, and spicy notes of licorice and black pepper, while on the palate structured yet elegant tannins are highlighted, with a freshness that perfectly balances its tannic charge.
This Barolo represents a combination of tradition and territory, capable of accompanying robust dishes such as braised meats, roasts, and aged cheeses, enhancing every bite with its decisive and refined personality. An excellence that tells the richness of Piedmont in every sip.

The story
The Piazzo family began their activity in the hills of San Rocco Seno d’Elvio in the 1960s: the couple Armando Piazzo and Gemma Veglia invested in Nebbiolo vineyards and, beginning with the harvest that produced their first wine in 1979, the estate progressively expanded its range to become a leading name in the Langhe. Management later passed to the next generations, who have preserved the family character while introducing innovative practices in the vineyard and cellar.
Production philosophy
The winery combines an artisanal, family-run approach with respect for the land: vineyard care, attention to the Nebbiolo tradition, and the use of modern techniques to enhance the terroir expression of each cru.
Terroir and vineyards
The vineyards are concentrated in the Langhe and Roero, with plots around Alba and in towns such as Mango, Neviglie, Guarene and Novello. The headquarters are located in the hamlet of San Rocco Seno d’Elvio, in the municipality of Alba.
