The years of our vineyards
… With all their experience.
All our wines are grown in the natural amphitheatre that opens up between the hills of Rabajà, directly beneath the cellar, and Trifolera.

Ancient soils
The story of the greatest vineyards growing Nebbiolo to produce Barbaresco wine.
Trifolera
The hillside opposite
On the opposite hillside lies the Trifolera, where Chardonnay, Dolcetto and Barbera are grown on vineyards with different aspects to produce wines of great elegance and typical style.

Our Hills
The Rabajà vineyard
Perfect position,
magical soil…
Contrary to how it may appear when seen from a distance, the Rabajà hill is anything but homogeneous and can be broadly divided into at least two areas. The first bordering on Asili coincides with the picturesque amphitheatre overlooking the Martinenga cru, and mostly enjoys a south-westerly aspect. The second, on the other hand, is more linear and faces due south, though within it there are some evident variations due to marked undulations around the hillside. In both cases, the style of the wine is however richer and bolder than the Asili and Martinenga (although a more uncompromising, mineral character tends to emerge in the second area).
Name: Rabajà
Size: Medium-large
Altitude: c. 260 – 315

Giuseppe and Rabaja´
History began generations ago, which passes through the first bottle dated 1971 to culminate with being the biggest owners of this vineyard.
The Trifolera vineyard
The first of three ridges climbing down from the crest of Tre Stelle towards Martinenga.
The Trifolera indication had never before been used on a Barbaresco label. But then very few positions here can offer quality on a par with the very finest, which also explains the greater presence of varietals such as dolcetto and barbera.
Name: Trifolera
Altitude: 200 – 320 m circa
Aspect: from west to south-west for the better positions, from north to north-west for the remainder
