The winery
One family, one hill, Monviso in front of us
Our vineyards are in Assarti (Lissart in Piedmontese), a hamlet of Barge on the Wine Roads at the foot of Monviso. At 3,841 metres it is one of the highest mountains in Europe, and the river Po rises on its slopes.
The hills here are clay, rich in minerals from the mountain's metamorphic rocks. They give deeply coloured grapes, with good structure, softness and ageing potential.
We harvest by hand, into small crates of about 20 kg. The winemaking is done for us by Azienda Vinicola Beppe Marino in Santo Stefano Belbo, Cesare Pavese's home town, between the Langhe and Monferrato.
Wine brings people together: it is love, friendship, sharing. That's why we make only rosé, to drink responsibly and to offer as a gesture of peace and fellowship.
