It all began in 1931 at the family-owned Cascina Cappellano. In those days, as was customary in the Langa hills, mixed farming was practised, meaning tending both orchards and vineyards while also breeding cattle.
In the late 1950s, the father of the current owners worked with one of the many famous wine cooperatives in the area, learning the art of winemaking and bringing the family closer to that magical world.
Finally, in 1972, following in the footsteps of Cascina Cappellano, Luigi tried his hand at vinifying his first harvest and finally saw a label bearing the family name: it was the first big step towards today’s production activities. In those years, Dolcetto was much sought after and was considered the quintessential daily wine, consumed both at home as well as in the local taverns.
