Description
The winery was founded in 1900 in Diano d’Alba, where the Alario family has been dedicated to the care and cultivation of vines for three generations. At the beginning, the grapes were exclusively for sale, but the real turning point came in 1988 when Claudio joined the company and contributed to the enhancement of the vineyards and immediately began bottling Dolcetto, a grape variety that represents the historical identity of the winery. The winery slowly grows and expands to the production of Barbera and Nebbiolo wines. The yields in the vineyard are low so as to ensure quality to their wines, innovation and tradition are characteristics that we find in their wines.
