About Winery and Wines

We are a small winery in Alta Langa, Rocchetta Belbo. The farm consists of 5 hectares planted with vines, 3.5 of which are in production. The vineyard is a single body surrounded by woods that protect us from any chemical contamination from our neighbors (important because we are organic) and ensure natural biodiversity.
The altitude ranges from 480 to 530 mslm with south/west exposure and the vines grow on soils composed mostly of clay-limestone marls. This makes the leading threads of our wines sapidity and acidity, characteristics that make them fresh and territorial and especially in the muscat wines counterbalance the aromatic part. 
We immediately switched to organic and are in conversion. Our wines will be able to be certified from the 2023 harvest. 
In 2021 we built a small theater convinced that the vitality of this lesser-known Langhe also passes through culture. Here we host small km0 events (local artists, local audiences).

The winery currently produces wines without any intervention from muscat, favorita and chardonnay grapes. Nebbiolo and pinot noir will soon enter production. 

Muscat for us is a dry wine with which to reveal a terroir in which this grape variety has been acclimated for centuries. Acidity, savoriness are the typical characteristics of these soils that are the common thread in all our wines.

Our champenoise method is still resting on the lees; it will not be ready until 2025. 

We are new, but full of surprises!
