Our winery uses exclusively grapes growing on our own 30 acres vineyards, 24 acres located in Verduno and the remaining 6 acres in Barolo and Roddi. All the vineyards are cultivated using the Guyot system; periodic replacement of grape-bearing stock is planned for each vineyard, so that a well-balanced and constant quality production is maintained. Each acre is cultivated with 2,500 to 3,000 grape-bearing plants. The vineyards vary in age from 45 years old for the oldest 5 acres in Monvigliero, to two years old for the youngest plants, which were planted in 2003, (production is expected in 2005) of Nebbiolo - with new clones and less vigorous grafts - and of Pelaverga. Of the family's 30 acres, half are planted with Nebbiolo, (mostly with the Lampia variety, the remainder with Michet). These 15 acres are located in the famous hills of Verduno (Monvigliero, Neirane, Breri and Rocche dell'Olmo) and on a small plot (3 and a half acres) in Barolo's prestigious area of Cannubi. Barbera, Dolcetto, Pelverga piccolo, Sauvignon blanc, and Freisa are grown in the remaining 15 acres.
