.On the hills of Castellinaldo d’Alba, our company (certified organic) cultivates about twenty hectares, mostly Arneis, with the addition of Barbera and Nebbiolo.  There is also the recently acquired vineyard at Vezza d’Alba in the historic cru of Valmaggiore.  The rows of vines are Guyot trained.  The terrain, facing southeast at an average height of 280 metres above sea level, mainly consists of calcareous marl next to sandy sediments of alluvial origin.  The climate, characterised by rigid winters and hot, dry summers, is strictly controlled by surveying weather stations, indispensible for the prompt implementation of the natural treatment called for by organic and biodynamic viticulture.
