Barolo from the municipality of Diano d’Alba DOCG

We worked hard to look for this vineyard and we found it in our town, and with the 2012 harvest, production began. Called Contadin (pronounced in Piedmontese dialect “Cuntadin”) in honor of our roots and on the label the wiry figure of Simone Castella (father of Claudia), important support in the research of this vineyard. Contadin is a traditional Barolo fermented in steel with the use of an ancient method called "submerged cap", placed in 20 Hl Slavonian oak barrels for 24 months and aged in bottle for about 8 months.
