The most part of vineyards were planted between 1955 and 1986. Terroirs’ soils are mainly loamy-clayey (wth the exception of Vigna Paradiso, marked by a sandy soil). Vineyards' rows are mostly N-S lined, with a perfectly-balanced sun exposure. Growing system is Guyot. 4.500-6.000 vines per ha. Green cover & manure. FIND OUT MORE GRAPES Only Piedmont-native grapes are grown: cortese, barbera, dolcetto, albarossa, freisa, nebbiolo. And we are strictly devoted to them.
