What began as a tribute has flourished into an enduring emblem of dedication and authenticity.
Where Tradition Meets Terroir: In the heart of these vineyards, tradition marries terroir, giving rise to wines of unparalleled character. Family-managed with unwavering care, the vineyards draw their bounty from the Ovello and Albesani sites – among Barbaresco's finest. From these older vines, Nebbiolo grapes are coaxed into wines that honor the land's essence.
A Symphony of Varieties: Cantina del Pino's repertoire is a symphony of flavors, embracing Barbera, Dolcetto, and Nebbiolo. While Nebbiolo hails from the prized Ovello and Albesani vineyards, Barbera and Dolcetto journey from the surrounding Piedmont and Langhe. Vinified with distinct care, these wines celebrate the land's diversity and the skill that guides their creation.
A Pledge to the Earth: With profound reverence for the environment, Cantina del Pino treads lightly on the earth. Chemical fertilizers are shunned, replaced by an ethos of environmental stewardship. These 40-year-old vines stand as silent witnesses to this dedication, nurtured in harmony with nature.
Unfiltered Elegance: In every bottle, the story of Cantina del Pino unfurls, untouched by filtration or fining. Each sip carries the legacy of its origins, the terroir that shaped it, and the generations that tended to its growth. Cantina del Pino is more than wine; it is a living testament to Barbaresco's soul and a testament to the magic that transpires when tradition, terroir, and time intertwine.
Verberti
Viberti: A Journey Through Generations of Excellence
Antonio Viberti's vision ignited a legacy that continues to shine through the ages. His acquisition of the revered "Al Buon Padre" inn in Barolo's Vergne district marked the inception of a remarkable story. The adjoining farm, producing the wines that graced the trattoria's tables, set the stage for Viberti's early triumphs.
Roots of Dedication: In those formative years, Dolcetto, Barbera, and Nebbiolo grapes emerged as the cornerstones of Antonio's vinicultural journey. His wines, lovingly crafted from these varietals, exclusively adorned the inn's menu, igniting a passion that was to define generations.
A Legacy Transformed: The torch passed to Antonio's son, Giovanni, in 1967, alongside the support of his wife Maria. Maria's warm rapport with the trattoria's patrons became pivotal in propelling both the restaurant and winery forward. As the culinary maestro and heart of the kitchen, Maria masterfully prepared dishes with the freshest local and seasonal produce, accentuating the winery's ascent.
Cultivating Ambitions: The '70s marked a time of prolific expansion. The farm burgeoned, historic vineyards flourished, and a modern cellar was born, unlocking the full potential of Barolo's grapes. The late '80s saw the winery embark on a path of innovation, experimenting with single-vineyard winemaking in stainless steel under controlled temperatures. European horizons beckoned, leading to the winery's initial steps onto international stages.
Continuing the Legacy: Giovanni's legacy continued to flourish as he handed down his passion and knowledge. His youngest son, Claudio, represents the third generation, carrying forth the Viberti torch. As the guiding hand in the winemaking process, Claudio employs the wisdom bestowed upon him, an unbroken chain linking the past, present, and future.
A Journey to New Horizons: Today, Viberti stands as a beacon of commitment and innovation. With an annual production of 70,000 bottles and an enthusiastic young team, the winery's horizons are boundless. The flagship BAROLO remains the pinnacle, epitomizing the Langhe region's essence. Yet, new projects like 'DOLBA' and 'Langhe INISJ' illuminate the path forward, infusing the winery with fresh energy and promise.
Generations United: The journey, while marked by innovation, remains steeped in tradition. Viberti's wines tell stories of generations united by a love for the land, a passion for winemaking, and an unquenchable thirst for excellence. It's a tale that captures the heart of Barolo, resonating through the ages and celebrating the remarkable journey of Viberti.

Ottosoldi
Ottosoldi: Crafting Dreams, Cultivating Legacy
A Journey Ignited by Passion In the heart of Piedmont, a dynamic tale of vinicultural brilliance unfolds through the vision of two brothers, Stefano and Massimo Moccagatta. Their ardor for winemaking has given birth to Ottosoldi, a youthful yet captivating winery that stands as a testament to their prowess.
Rooted in History, Forged by Family As if woven by destiny, their story intertwines with their grandfather's legacy. This ancestral figure had once gazed upon a small piece of land, now nurtured to yield the very essence of their craft. The moniker "Otto soldi" – symbolizing a treasure of eight coins – was bestowed upon this land, echoing the fortune it held. A tribute to this remarkable tale, their flagship Gavi proudly bears the name "Ottosoldi."
Serravalle Scrivia: A Haven of Beauty Nestled within the embrace of Serravalle Scrivia lies the Ottosoldi estate. This resplendent haven is adorned by the undulating hills of Gavi, a landscape that whispers tales of enchantment. The soul of this place is enriched by captivating vineyard sites and landscapes that exude allure at every turn. The Mediterranean influence graces this corner of southeastern Piedmont with a gentle climate, bestowing an ideal canvas upon which their dreams are painted.
Terroir: The Essence of Uniqueness Spanning over 5 hectares and perched at an elevation of 250 to 300 meters above sea level, the Ottosoldi vineyards present an exceptional terroir within Monferrato. A marriage of marl and limestone infuses their Gavi with an exquisite symphony of richness and vitality. This land is a realm in transition, embracing the embrace of organic farming as a testament to their commitment to nature's harmony.
The Dance of Vines: A Symphony of Age and Exposure Gazing upon these vine-clad slopes, one finds a treasure trove of vines, each around 20 years in age. With a graceful southwest exposure, these vines bask in the sun's caress, achieving the optimal ripeness craved by Cortese grapes. A labor of love unfolds as each grape is meticulously hand-harvested, a testament to the artistry behind every bottle.
Artisanal Elegance: Unveiling the Collection The canvas of Ottosoldi's craftsmanship unfurls with a production of merely 50,000 bottles. Within this ensemble, the Gavi DOCG and the Metodo Classico Spumante, both 100% Cortese, stand as ethereal embodiments of their dedication. A symphony enriched by Barbera del Monferrato adds another layer to this tale, a journey that dances across the senses and kindles the spirit of exploration.

Piccolo Ernesto
Nestled amidst the undulating hills that embrace the charming town of Gavi, emerges the enchanting domain of Piccolo Ernesto. Here, a captivating Mediterranean ambiance prevails, blessed by the constant caress of maritime breezes that grace the southern Piedmont region with a touch of allure. Elegantly poised at an elevation of approximately 260 meters above sea level in Rovereto di Gavi, this exquisite estate claims its realm within the prestigious embrace of this appellation's finest territories.
Spanning a resplendent expanse of 16 hectares, Piccolo Ernesto's vineyards are a living tribute to the land's treasures. Adorned exclusively with the enduring grace of the Cortese grape, a resolute and vivacious white varietal renowned for its tenacity and invigorating acidity, the estate's lush lands pay homage to their home in the northern Italian embrace. Thriving in the face of challenging soils, an arid climate, and the sun's fervent embrace, Cortese flourishes in the nurturing arms of Rovereto, gifting us with nature's bounty transformed into liquid artistry.
Poised toward the sun's affectionate gaze, our vineyards bask in a southern embrace, their soils endowed with an abundance of clay that weaves tales of resilience. Amidst the sultriest of summers, these earths stand as steadfast guardians of year-round water sustenance, an oasis of life within the heart of a sun-drenched sanctuary.
The chronicles of Piccolo Ernesto's lineage unfurl in a saga that began with Lorenzo Piccolo's vision in 1945. A legacy that has since been entrusted to the hands of his progeny, as his son Ernesto tenderly embraced the mantle of winemaking and stewardship. Today, the torch illuminates the path for Gianlorenzo, the grandson who masterfully intertwines innovation with tradition, sculpting a future that echoes with the triumphs of generations past.
Behold the lands predominantly within Rovereto's embrace, where the hallowed vineyards of Le Rive have borne witness to more than six decades of stories whispered by the vines. A newer tale unfolds as well, woven within the boundaries of Tassarolo, where two hectares stand as a testament to our ever-evolving journey.
In a symphony of devotion, each grape is handpicked, a testament to the reverence bestowed upon nature's bounty. While the winery itself has embraced modernity, the heart of our craft beats to the rhythm of tradition. The winemaking process remains an artful dance, where intervention is sparing and the embrace of artificial pesticides and herbicides remains unbeknownst to our vineyards.
With a purpose that resonates with purity, we celebrate the essence of Cortese in its unadulterated splendor. Our Gavi wines embark on a transformative journey, gracing exclusively stainless-steel vessels as they evolve into symphonies of flavor that echo the very soul of the land from which they were born.
