Daniele grew up in the vineyards with his brother Andre. So far, he tries to express what his wines mean for him in every bottle. For Daniele wine is a natural product that reflects what is in the earth what is in his land, and what is in the history of his family. Many people ask: "are you a traditionalist or a modernist." Daniele answers: "I really love the traditional way of producing wines, but I am always keeping an eye on what is new, and experimenting to push the level of what is possible while respecting my father and grandfather's wishes."
In 2005 his father Franco made the decision to become certified organic. Daniele and his brother embraced that idea. Daniele is exited about his new project. Having his own wines with the full blessing of his father Franco. Daniele is exited for his sons to continue the long tradition.
Attracting the most glory, prestige and fame to the Piedmont region, Nebbiolo in all of its expressions—Barolo, Barbaresco, Roero, Ghemme and Gattinara—creates a complex wine, truly unique for its delicate qualities combined with strength and a great potential to improve over time.
But Nebbiolo isn’t all there is to red wine from Piedmont! Barbera is the most planted variety and historically most popular as a dependable, food-friendly, everyday wine.
Beyond these two, a surprising number of red varieties call Piedmont their home. Worth a try include Dolcetto for its bold concentration and aromas of spice cake. Other grapes to investigate include Freisa, Croatina, Brachetto, Grignolino and Pelaverga.
