About Winery and Wines

Our estate was established in 1956, when my grandfather Natale, known as Talein, bought the farmhouse, after working as a sharecropper for years on several farms in the Asti district. Natale was joined immediately by my father Aldo, the youngest of his five children, in the management of the two hectares of vineyards that surround the farmhouse. The estate’s structure changed little, other than the fact that I took over the running of things in 1987, aided by my father of course. It was in 2001 that the estate as you know it today was born. Two important territorial projects were being launched at that time: Spumante Alta Langa and Nizza, in which I had great faith and which encouraged me to vinify the grapes grown on our estate to make high-quality wines. In order to do this, the cellar was renovated and the vineyards were increased to seven hectares, thanks to the purchase of vineyards in Nizza Monferrato. Today, my whole family is involved in the management of the estate: my father Aldo, my mother Angioletta, my wife Gabriella and, most importantly, my daughter Roberta, who has recently graduated from the oenology school in Alba. We all believe that being personally involved in the local territory is essential if it is to grow, and to in order to promote the excellent quality wines made here.
