We do not practise monoculture, because is not beautiful to see, is not beautiful to live with it and is not sustainable in a long period of time. Monoculture is not typical of the Langhe area. Each piece of land is suited for a specific cultivation and, for this reason, in our properties, at the end of a vineyard there are hazelnuts trees, and then a field and finally a wood. In between two rows there is an old pear-tree or a durmast oak.

We always have developed different cultivations to protect the environement where we live and this is good for us and for our wines produced with grapes grown in an harmonic territory.

Is named “gurat” the branch of the willow tree used in the vineyards for doing the “liaia” . The piedmontese word comes from the french verb “lier” meaning “to tie up”

Near the precious vineyards we cultivate hazels and in the summer we harvest the best hazelnut in the world named Tonda and Gentile of the Langhe region. It is dried outside in the courtyard and finally is toasted in the wood-burning oven.

And then we have some woods which are full of life: at the end of the harvest of the Nebbiolo grape, with the first cold weather of the season, in this space full of fog grows the mostly fascinating and precious fruit of our piedmontese lands: the Tartufo bianco of Alba (Alba White truffle).

We are lucky because we live in a land difficult to cultivate but full of precious products: Barolo, Langhe hazelnut, Nas-cetta of the village of Novello and Alba white truffle.
