At the helm of the winery's Nicoletta Bocca, arrived in these beautiful areas in the nineties moved from Milan. Nicoletta has learned everything from his neighbors winegrowers but with time it has tried to carve out its own identity, its own wiggle room in making its wines. Its vineyards, Austri, Tuscany, the Riavolo Coste, Costabella and Cerri, are scattered anywhere on the right side of the River Rea, between Dogliani and Monforte d'Alba, in the south of Piedmont. Nicoletta has always tried to buy vineyards that could give strength to its wines, wine struck the memory of the place where it was produced.
