THE COMPANY
Company was set from the Isolabella della Croce family's passion for Loazzolo, an enchanting village set in a natural amphitheater at more than 500 m. a.s.l. The vines are immersed in the woods and thus preserved from the scorching summer heat, with the night offering thermal excursions of up to fifteen degrees. The main production is focused on the Barbera grape, declined in the two DOCGs of Nizza and Barbera d'Asti Superiore. Moscato d'Asti also finds its natural expression in these places, flanked by two wines of international character, such as Pinot Noir and Sauvignon, on which the company has focused in recent years.
