• Ca’ Moranda

  In the heart of Langhe, a World Heritage Site, in Neviglie stands the Cà Moranda farm, a small, strictly family-run business, which has always been characterized by the production of grapes.

  The energy used for production is entirely obtained from photovoltaics, the grapes are selected and come from owned vineyards.

  Although the actual age of the cellar is very young, the family boasts Neive ancestors who produced wine already at the end of the 1800s; the first was the great-great-grandfather Stefano, born in 1861, who brought the wine barrels by horse to the taverns of Alba; after him the great-grandfather Alfonso, and then the grandfather Pietro.

  Today the company is run by his granddaughter Serena, with the help of her father and mother, Dino and Anna.
