Our History
Our story began in 1890, among the rolling hills of Montalto Pavese, in the heart of the Oltrepò Pavese, a land that has always been suited to viticulture.
Here, for six generations, our family has cultivated vines with respect, dedication, and a deep connection to the land, transforming work in the fields into a true wine culture.
It all began in the late 19th century, when our ancestors decided to dedicate themselves to growing grapes, following the rhythms of nature and the peasant traditions of the time.
Year after year, harvest after harvest, the company has grown alongside the family, undergoing historical changes, technical and generational evolutions, without ever losing its identity.
Each generation has left its mark, contributing experience, vision, and passion. The knowledge passed down from father to son has been enriched over time with new skills, allowing us to combine tradition and innovation, respecting the land and its unique characteristics.
Today, the company is led by mother Natalina, the guardian of family values, along with her three children, Matteo, Andrea, and Sara, who represent the present and future of the winery.
A shared effort, based on daily dialogue, courageous decisions, and a passion for quality. Each with their own role, but with a common goal: to maximize the value of our vineyards and produce wines that tell our story and our land.
Our wines are the result of a journey spanning over a century, driven by genuine passion, respect for nature, and a deep connection to the Oltrepò Pavese.
A story that continues, harvest after harvest, with an eye to the future and roots firmly planted in our history.
