Label / history
The project traces its roots to the hills along the Parodine road, beside Cascina Polastra on the route from Capriata through San Cristoforo to Gavi, where the first family vineyards of Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto were planted. It later expanded into the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato landscape, reaching Neive, where the Barbaresco story began.
