Growing vines and making good wine: this is what I wanted to do when I grew up and, as soon as I grew up (at 26 you can say you're already grown up, right?) I opened my own winery.
I'm not a child of art, dad and mom do something completely different in life, but I've always had a passion for viticulture: since I was a child I spent a lot of time in the vineyard with my grandparents. First, I obtained a diploma from the Oenology School of Alba, then a degree in Viticulture and Oenology and, after work experience abroad, I chose to return home and start doing my dream job. By myself.
As for the land, I inherited some vineyards from my maternal grandparents, including the old vines of the Capalot cru, whereas for the cellar, there is the grandparents' cellar - intended as a garage under the house, not as a space used for making wine!
When my peers were buying a new car with the first money they earned, I bought barrels and other equipment for the vineyard and winemaking; when my friends were signing their first rental contract to live alone or to live together, I signed the contract to rent a new vineyard.
Many sacrifices were and are made, but knowing that around the world there are people who drink the wines I make and taste Langhe and La Morra inside, repays me for all my efforts...and now, my sister Caterina is also here to help me!

As a child I imagined my future far away from the vineyards. When in the summer, after school, I happened to have to work together with my brothers and grandmother in the vineyard, I asked myself: why aren't we at the seaside on holiday?
When it was time to choose which university to attend I didn't have clear ideas, but I knew that learning foreign languages would have taken me far. At the end of the three-year course in Linguistic Sciences, something inside me changed... spending three years away from Langhe made me open my eyes and understand the great fortune of living in this beautiful area.
In 2018 I approached the winery, initially taking care of the tasks Alberto had less time to focus on (answering emails, receiving customers in the cellar, and looking for new business contacts) until I later immersed myself in viticulture and enology with great curiosity and desire to learn.
Today, I dedicate myself above all to customers in the cellar and to business relations abroad, but depending on the season, you will also find me in the vineyard or in the cellar.
