La Cantina
Fabrizio’s company is small, but great for goals and ambitions.
The vineyard area has 5 hectares of vineyards, which allow family management and, above all, attention to the smallest details of the entire production cycle.
In the vineyard nature grows lively and luxuriant: Fabrizio does not use herbicides and undertakes to keep chemical treatments to a minimum.
Always with a view to respecting the environment, the winery is powered by green and clean energy, thanks to solar panels that eliminate the need to use gas.
Every year about 25,000 bottles are produced, all vinified with healthy grapes and with great care, from fermentation to bottling.

How to participate
Visits & Tastings
There is only one way to find out if the choice of the barrique is right: taste the wines with Fabrizio.
The visit begins with a walk in the Colla and Sergentin vineyards. Here the view is stunning and sweeps over narrow gorges and steep slopes typical of the Roero, up to the Abbey of Superga, in Turin.
You'll then continue in the cellar, in the fermentation and aging rooms, to learn about the production process and aging.
At the end of the visit, you'll move on to the guided tasting, during which Fabrizio tells the story of each label: you can choose between different types of tasting, based on which product interests you the most.
