Our first Barolo was born in this vineyard in 1995.

Claudio Alario fell instantly in love with this MGA because of the particular presence of chalk in the subsoil, a characteristic that makes this cru different from the others in the municipality of Verduno and expands its tannic spectrum.

Its origin in the municipality of Verduno guarantees elegance and olfactory range: it is up to us to select the best bunches and take care of the vineyard like a garden to bring home all the distinctive features of this MGA.
