In 1977 Ernesto Saffirio encouraged his daughter Josetta, teacher at the School of Enology in Alba, and
Roberto Vezza, also an enologist, to take over the care for his vines planted in Castelletto, part of
Montforte d'Alba Barolo appellation. After several years of work the ambitious aim of producing a
great Barolo came into closer reach as the two were finally able to make a Barolo in 1985 for the first
time under their own label. Soon, important recognition rewarded their hard work, such as the
'Three
Glasses' from the Gambero Rosso. Today, they continue this dedication to intense, full-flavored Barolos. |
