It is a selection of Barbera grapes...
My great-grandfather Giuseppe cultivated the vineyards as tenant farmer: his dream was to own the lands but his life has been too short to see his dream coming true so my grandfather Angelo had to take care of it: farmer and grafter (perforce during those years post-filossera) started our company with the implantation of MAIOLI vineyard in 1936, with the project of enlarging what it was a very little property for a big family.
Succeeded him my father Giuseppe who, during the years of the great industrialization had the merit of not moving to the city like the majority of his coetaneous to work in a factory but stayed linked to his vineyards, taken care of those belonging to his father, purchasing land and implanting others. Unfortunately those years were really difficult for the wine of quality so my parents renounced to vinify and brought the grapes produced to the closest wine co-operative.
The big change for the Company occurred in 1989, when my father told me about his intention to uproot some vineyards. In those years my husband and I had different jobs even if we both come from families of vintners. After a short time we decided to return to our origins and work again in the vineyard with the target of producing only quality wines.
