The vineyards: it is here that we value the uniqueness of the territory and we do it diversifying the vines. Of the eleven cultivated hectares, nine are at the Municipality of Diano d'Alba: we produce here the grapes for Dolcetto, Nebbiolo, Barbera d'Alba and Favorita; the other two hectares are at Novello, on the Ravera vineyard where Barolo's nebbiolos are cultivated, and they will produce the first Abrigo Giovanni Barolo's bottles which will be on the market by 2017. Among the vineyards, it is important to refer to the "Sori", a word that identifies the best exposure to the sun, receiving the right amount of heat, combined to the microclimate and the height (400-450 meter above sea level), allows the complete ripening of the grape, to create a wine with all the aroma and flavor of the Langhe. The "Sori" of the Dolcetto is similar to the Barolo cru, because the land here expresses its best. For consumer protection and product traceability, in 1986 the map of the "sori" was done by the Municipality of Diano d'Alba. Sori Crava: from these vineyards we produce the Dolcetto di Diano d'Alba Sori Crava. This hill has southwest exposure and a height of 400 m a s l, the vines have an average age of 30 years and they create a wine of a dry but cool flavor, and a fragrant and persistent aroma. You can feel the clay of the land in this wine. Garabei: this is an old and precious vineyard, exposed south-west, at a height of 350 m asl. Its strains are about 50 years.
