Description

We are talking about the late 1960s when Rino, having finished wine school, decided to start making wine, just a few hectares but in the best areas for Barbaresco production. Today the winery owns 18 hectares, 5 of the best cru in Barbaresco and Neive: Cottà, Pajorè, Fausoni, Currà and Basarin conquered with hard sacrifices, work and above all a lot of passion. The winery’s philosophy has always been to respect the land as much as possible, so in the vineyard no chemical products or herbicides are used so as not to alter the natural balance of the hills, and in the winery the approach is the same, Rino together with his sons, who have joined the team, produce wines that reflect the terroir and bring out the best of the characteristics of the grapes.
