For 3 generations it has been producing excellent wines among the most representative whites such as Arneis with typical Piedmontese reds … but the winery is famous for the super territorial interpretation of the Nebbioli from Roero DOCG.

The Roero Riserva comes from the San Michele vineyard located in Canale, facing south west, it ages for two years in large wooden barrels. Despite the mention reserve, the aging is slightly longer than a classic Roero, but the wine is very balanced and pleasant to taste, especially thanks to this remarkable 2016 vintage, the best!
