The Estate
A small winery, a singular hill
In the early 1980s, Ugo bottled his first wines, personally selecting grapes from six hectares of vineyards at Cascina Nuova, in the heart of the historic Gallina hill. Once part of the vineyard holdings of the Counts Riccardi Candiani of Neive, the property is today owned by the Marcarino family.
The experience gained over the years, together with continuous research and experimentation in both vineyard and cellar, helped establish the winery as part of the quality revolution that shaped the modern culture of fine wine.
Ugo has always believed that great wines need time: only patient ageing gives a wine its class, depth and longevity. His wines are released only after a long, carefully judged rest.
