In the heart of the Langhe district, in the Ornati area of Monforte d’Alba, is an estate with 37.06 acres (15 hectares) of vineyards. From 1986, it was
managed by brothers Bruno and Gianni, who constantly modernized the vineyards over the years, and since 2010 Gianni and his son Andrea, an enotechnician, have taken over management of the estate. The large farmhouse dating back to the eighteenth century has been restored to its original splendor following meticulous architectural refurbishment. 
The creation of the modern cellar with underground rooms for optimal development and ageing of wines confirms the commitment, passion and determination with which the wine production that symbolizes the Alba area of the Langhe district is conceived.
