The Winery

• A long tradition unites Beppe Marino and his family to hillside vineyards and the calm attraction of the wine cellar. The roots have a firm hold in wine lands located between the Langhe and Monferrato districts of Piedmont, at Santo Stefano Belbo.

Evidence of these roots is found in the form of the large farmhouse, the vineyards and a small but technically remarkable winery: all passionately and enthusiastically run by Beppe Marino, his wife Rosalba and their son Maurizio, to create the real stars of the winery: the wines.

• The company is run at artisan level to offer customers wines produced exclusively from estate-owned grapes.

Method:

• The grapes are dried on selected rows sheltered from the rain, then gentle pressed: a cold maceration of the
