Holidays

The vineyards are located around the winery in the Valdibà hamlet, an old renovated Langa farmhouse that preserves the look of the ancient rural tradition.

The itinerary that allows you to reach the company from both the high Langa and neighboring countries such as Barolo and Monforte allows you to enjoy the evocative panorama that the area offers in every season.

The company is associated with the Bottega del Vino in Dogliani, a consortium for the protection and promotion of the Dogliani Docg appellation producers.

The Dogliani DOCG and the produced wines

The production area is that of the Dogliani DOCG which Valdibà also proposes in the Superiore version.

Dogliani Superiore DOCG Valdibacco

Its ruby color with violet notes, aromas of wild berries and fruit in syrup makes it suitable for game dishes, braised meats, aged cheeses and even a good extra dark bitter chocolate. This wine is to be considered the company’s flagship wine.

The visit to the winery

During the walk, the territory, the company and the history of the family are introduced.

The visit and tasting are conducted personally by the owners.

The Pecchenino family, in fact, has always made quality and direct contact with visitors a fundamental characteristic.

Valdibà - Azienda Agricola a Dogliani

A story that
begins in 1920

in Dogliani

A story now a hundred years long that began with the grandfather of the current owners

The Valdibà Winery was founded in the early 1900s by Attilio Pecchenino, father of Enrico and grandfather of the current owners Vincenzo and Livio.

Enrico Pecchenino is still an active part of the winery in production activities today.

It is therefore a small family-run business located in a part of Langhe where woods and hazelnut groves coexist alongside the vineyards.

Since 1986 the winery has converted to certified organic farming.

Winemaking is therefore planned from the vineyard, believing in the potential of a cultivated vineyard and in respect of natural cycles.

Respect for these principles therefore allows to safeguard the environment and the health of the consumer and those who cultivate it.

 

The Wines

Natural, organic and traditional wines

Of the 23 hectares of cultivated land, 12 are dedicated to vineyards.

The Valdibà farm produces grapes and wines from organic farming combining ancient and traditional cultivation methods with cutting-edge techniques with attention to consumer health.

The Dolcetto grape variety

The Dolcetto grape variety, from which Dogliani DOCG is born, produces delicate berries for which the work in the vineyard of pruning and thinning is extremely delicate.

The midday sun must not directly hit the grapes so the outer leaves must be maintained as shelter, taking care to thin out the inner ones that can retain traces of humidity.

Other wines in the production

Completing the production are Dogliani DOCG, Langhe Dolcetto, Langhe Bianco, Langhe Freisa, Langhe Nas-cëtta DOC and a rosé wine.

Nas-cëtta is a rare native grape variety rediscovered in recent years; Valdibà pays tribute to it with its special interpretation.

In the cellar it is possible to taste all the wines of the production indicated on the side.
