About

The landscape of the Bormida valley is characterised by a wide dale with a gradually sloping ridge on the eastern side. The western side is much steeper. It even has a cliff at the level of the village Monesiglio, the Roccabianca. Above it is a landscape of man-made terraces overlooking the northern and southern part of the valley. This terraced landscape was recently declared UNESCO cultural heritage. The vineyard lies in a landscape basin. It is flanked on the left and right by ridges, while the wood situated higher up acts as a windshield. This basin provides a protected microclimate. In 2015 the vineyard was laid out with an initial stock of 1,000 Pinot Noir plants. We are keen to treat the vineyard as a natural phenomenon and to leave it to its own devices as much as possible.
