It wasn't until 2000, when their grandfather passed away, that Marco and Micaela changed family tradition by starting their own family winery and vinifying their grapes. The winery is a family-run company; Marco, graduated from the Oenological School of Alba, he is the wine maker and deals with the production and management of the company at 360 degrees.
