Wine and Roero are in Daniela and Luigi’s blood. “Our idea of viticulture is summed up in one word: authenticity”. They apply this concept not only to wine making – from the vineyard to the wine cellar –
but also to life. The annual production of DOCG Roero and Spumante is about 100 thousand bottles – symbols of our genuine lifestyle representing Roero and its wines.
“Both farmers’ children, we grew up between the vineyards and wines of Roero, we got married in the 90s and then we started working for this company. Our love for Roero and its wines inspired us to invest exclusively in native vines: Nebbiolo, Arneis, Favorita and Barbera”.
In the early 1950s Antica Cascina dei Conti di Roero was run by Daniela’s parents. By purchasing Cascina Valmenera, which is still the heart of the company, they merged the vineyards they owned in the municipality of Monteu Roero with orchards and land under cereal production. The turning point came in the 1970s when Daniela’s parents converted the company exclusively to winemaking so as to promote native vines such as Nebbiolo, Arneis, Favorita and Barbera. With Daniela and Luigi in the company, the strong bond with Roero gave rise to productions of Roero DOCG, Roero Arneis DOCG and Spumante.
The wines produced by Daniela and Luigi are born in the 13.5 hectares of their vineyards in the Roero area, at the heart of the land that has become a UNESCO World Heritage Site for the beauty of its vine landscapes.
The love for this land and for its wines inspired Antica Cascina dei Conti di Roero to join the “The Green Experience” project, led by Coldiretti of Cuneo. The Green Experience certifies sustainable viticultures characterized by practices such as green manure, autumn sowing of flowers and legumes and no chemical fertilization, aimed at preserving the earth and its ancestral roots.
