The company was set up in 1974 by Ernesto Dellapiana on his family’s eighteenth century estate. Having grown up with a passion for the land and wine-growing, in 1973 he decided to leave the city - and an established paper-making business - to follow the great love of his life: the land of the Langa, and its hard-to-work hillsides.
Over the years the winery’s proprietor has dedicated himself to extending and improving the company and its products in terms of both quantity and quality, making it - with its 90 acres - one of the largest, and most interesting and unquestionably important wine estates in the Barbaresco-growing area.
