on the border between Lower Langa and Monferrato regions
Our winery is located in Castiglione Tinella, within the Province of Cuneo, between the
Lower Langa and the Monferrato Regions. Rolling hills almost completely covered in vineyards are
visible as far as the eye can see and make Castiglione Tinella one of the liveliest towns in Italy.
The cliffs running down towards the valleys Tinella and Belbo frame the vineyards and the wood
patches, creating a unique landscape.

The “Cru”
For centuries, France has been protecting its best terroir defining their products as
"cru", a word that certifies the production of particularly prestigious wines. Italy doesn't have
the same hierarchical classification but smaller areas within Designation of Origin regions can be
defined as Additional Geographic Mentions. In relation to this, 2015 marked a turning point for our
company. In fact, after twenty years, 2015 exclusive harvesting of grapes grown in Neive and Barolo
was certified by Additional Geographic Mentions. Therefore, starting in 2018 we will be able to
put our Barbaresco DOCG "Starderi" on the market and, from the following year, we will produce
our Barolo DOCG "Fossati".
