A small house perfectly in tune with the territory of which it is part, a short distance from the village of Treiso, dominates the surrounding valleys.
Below it, within the hillside, a modern winery is developed.
Here it is possible to meet Giovanni, owner of the Orlando Abrigo winery and Foresteria Settevie, in a landscape setting that in autumn offers one of the most intense vineyard foliage shows in Piedmont.
He will be the one to lead guests to discover the wines of his production: his winery produces and exports to the world some of the most important and well-known Piedmontese wines: Barbaresco DOCG, Barbera d’Alba DOC, Dolcetto d’Alba DOC, as well as various Langhe DOC wines.
A story that began more than thirty years ago when he took over the reins of the winery, combining traditional winemaking methods with innovations and new technologies to optimize production phases and obtain wines of the highest quality.
At the farm, you will be welcomed directly by the owner who leads guided tour and tasting
Like many Langa wineries, many years ago the grapes were sold at the market in nearby Alba
It is 1988 when Orlando leaves the running of the company to his son Gianni.
A story that
begins in 1949
in Treiso
The new underground cellar, whose design was supervised by architect Marco Ferreri is built in 2013
Just like many Langa farming families, the grandparents of the current owner Giovanni (Gianni) Abrigo sold the grapes both at the Alba market and in the main towns of Piedmont and Liguria.
In 1949, Giovanni's father Orlando was orphaned, and the estate lands were entrusted to a skilled sharecropper who, to make production more efficient, planted new vineyards in the hamlet of Cappelletto in Treiso.
Having finished his studies, Orlando, after working in other professions, returned to work his land, going against the dictates of the time, according to which, a secure job in the city would offer greater economic security and less sagrin, or worries, to put it in Piedmontese dialect.
The first bottle of Barbaresco produced by the winery dates back to 1973, which would be followed by DOCG recognition in 1981.
In 1986, Giovanni, the second of Orlando's four sons and a student at the Umberto I Agricultural Institute in Alba, officially joined the winery and managed its first harvest.
Passionate and motivated, he began to transfer the knowledge he had learned at school to the winery.
Having completed his high school studies with a specialization in oenology, Giovanni enrolled in a degree program in Viticulture and Oenology, a goal he achieved a few years later.
And 1988 was the year in which Orlando, recognizing his son's preparation, left him the management of the winery, which since then, with the renewal of equipment, began to take on an increasingly modern imprint.

Rainwater is reused to irrigate the garden, where aromatic plants and flowers coexist, promoting the development of different ecosystems and the life of insects that take up residence there.

The Wines
The Barbaresco DOCGs are some of the winery's most identifying wines, which are joined by two additional lines
What in France are the cru, in Italy are the Menzioni Geografiche Aggiuntive (Me.Ga).
In the Barbaresco area, 66 have been delimited and regulated.
The two owned by Azienda Orlando Abrigo, Meruzzano and Montersino, are located in the municipality of Treiso, the part of the territory with the highest elevation in the entire area.
The vineyards face south, the soils are white rich in limestone, rugged and steep, furrowed often by deep gullies.
The Barbaresco Docg
The enhancement of individual crus, the selection of the best grapes and separate vinifications allow the unique characteristics of each Barbaresco to be enhanced.
- Barbaresco Merruzzano DOCG
The vineyards, aged between 15 and 25 years, produce a fresh, fruity wine from a young age. The tannins are fine and immediately noble.
- Barbaresco Montersino DOCG
Me.Ga most emblazoned: here they produce a full-bodied, full-bodied wine with fine, silky tannins and easy, joyful drinking.
- Barbaresco Rongalio® DOCG Riserva
Produced only in the best vintages and from the estate’s oldest vines of 35/40 years of age.
The wine produced has a strong propensity for aging and decisive personality.
Le Colline line
Line of labels representing wines born from the selection of the best grapes:
- Nebbiolo d’Alba DOC Valmaggiore
- Barbera d’Alba DOC Mervisano
- Langhe Rosso DOC Livraie
- Langhe Bianco DOC Tres Plus

Vineyards Location
Agricultural Method
The winery is nestled within the hillside to naturally be part of the environment in which it is located
Within these walls rest the great reds for aging including the Barbaresco DOCG
The hills of Treiso are characterized by an erosion phenomenon that gave rise to the Rocche dei sette fratelli
Visits & Tastings
Three tastings of Orlando Abrigo production wines from a choice of old or current vintages and selected crus
The tasting is the most anticipated moment of the entire visit and can be held in the newly prepared room enclosed by glass windows, thus extremely bright, or in the special loft space outside.

The winery tour
The visit follows the entire grape tour and begins with a walk through the rows of vines (upon request) and then moves through the premises of the new winery.
The grapes arrive at the winery in 20 kg crates and are sorted outside the facility and separated from the stems.
Following crushing, the grape juice is transferred to temperature-controlled, stacked steel tanks, where the fermentation and maceration process begins using only indigenous yeasts.
During the racking process, the wine is transferred to the tanks below for the time necessary for the lees to settle.
Wine aging takes place in rooms that provide optimal conditions for the slow but steady evolution of the wine.
The choice of the type of aging depends on the wine being made and the style you want to give it: therefore, neutral containers (steel) or different types of wood (barriques, tonneaux, large barrels) are used.
Once the best batches of wine have been selected and assembled, bottling takes place.
They rest from a minimum of six months up to 12-18 months for the Riserva selections.
Maturation is an evolutionary phase, which also continues in the bottle, before and after release.

The Tempo Project
A challenge to understand the evolution of wine and improve work in the vineyard and winery
The project called Tempo® is part of the Abrigo family’s corporate philosophy.
Indeed, the time of patience and the time of maturity are seen as the founding values of life and work.
The purpose is embodied in the selection of a few bottles of the best vintages stored in the winery, as evidence of the aging potential of the great wines of the Langhe.
These are then reintroduced to the market, marked with a shellac capsule, after a specific period of time that varies according to the label.
To date, Barbaresco DOCG Montersino and Barbaresco Rongalio® DOCG Riserva, marketed ten years after their release, and Langhe Bianco Doc Très Plus, marketed after five, are part of this project.
The Cellar: the project
The hallmark of the Tempo® project is a fine capsule in different colors
Selected bottles of historic vintages rest at length at the winery before being marketed
The project, characterized by eco-sustainability, is perfectly integrated within the territory
