This is a small boutique winery situated on eight hectares of vines. For Paolo and Luca De Marchi, bringing the wines of North Piedmont back into the limelight means making them live again in full respect of the district’s traditions and the knowledge and methods of times gone by. This small winery continues the centuries old tradition of vinification and fermenting in broad and shallow completely open wooden tanks and then maturing the wine in barrels and casks.
