In the three Piedmont areas where our establishments exist - Langhe, Monferrato and Gavi - we have at our disposal 110 hectares of vineyards: 60 hectares owned by our family and also the 50 hectares under longterm leasing contracts.

A vineyard located in great terroirs together with a careful and zealous management of same are the real "secrets" behind production of the highest quality. Our main aims have always been to having vineyards that are situated only on prestigious hillsides and on focusing most of our efforts on meticulously cultivating them, trying to improve their management year by year.

 

The Cannubi, the cru par excellence, overshadows with its historic prestige the other vineyards in the commune (of Barolo)." Atlante delle vigne di Langa, edited by Carlo Petrini, Slow Food Editore, 1990. At the centre of the Cannubi hill, our vineyard. In 1969 we set up, in collaboration with the university of Changin, the first Barolo vineyard laid out terraces, in order to recoup a great position with a slope of over 50%. Our Barolo Cannubi is born only in the years that we deem excellent.

Robert Parker 92: "The 2005 Barolo Cannubi impresses for its density and follow-through on the palate, where layers of ripe cherries and sweet spices come to life in a gorgeous display of class and elegance. This generous yet mid-weight Barolo offers outstanding balance and plenty of style. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2025."

 

Wine Spectator 92: "Displays wonderful aromas of blackberry, blueberry and dark chocolate. Full-bodied, with soft, velvety tannins and sweet fruit. Long and rich, with beautiful finesse. Best after 2012. 580 cases made."
