Our Story

The winery was founded in 1964 by Maria Feyles and Antonio de Nicola, her son-in-law. They first invested in the purchase of the Montesommo vineyard, a parcel of land in the village of Neive, in the heart of Barbaresco production area. Other parcels were progressively acquired in the Langhe hills, and the estate now owns more than 7 hectares of vineyards. They are planted mostly with Nebbiolo grapes, along with Barbera and Dolcetto grapes. Overall, the annual production amounts to roughly 50,000 bottles. The family has consistently shown their dedication to tradition both in the vineyards and in the winery. The goal has always been to produce distinctive wines that truly express the grapes and the terroir. They take great care to ensure that the rows of vines are tall and well-spaced to maximize the grapes’ exposure to sunlight. In the winery, long maceration results in higher extraction; aging is done in Slavonian oak barrels of medium capacity, without the use of barriques; the number of operation is kept to a minimum in order not to interfere with the natural development of the wine. The result is award-winning wines that are complex, full-bodied, and well structured with great aging potential.
