Noble Vines

Alberico, "Appia Antica", 2019 & Alberico, "Alberico", 2017The story of Alberico begins with Prince Alberico Ludovisi, scion of one of Rome's most esteemed noble families. In 1946, he passionately devoted himself to organically cultivating some of the finest Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon just outside the walls of Rome, long before "organic" became a buzzword or "Super Tuscan" blends of non-native Italian grapes took off. His wine: "Tenuta di Fiorano", became a coveted gem among collectors, hailed as an absolute "unicorn". Just as he reached the peak of his craft, the engmatic prince abruptly halted production and mysteriously uprooted his vines, nearly letting his legacy slip away into obscurity. After Alberico's passing, his daughter inherited the vineyards, which forged a link to Italy's most icnonc wine family throught her marriage to Piero Antinori of Tignanello fame.

Timorasso, Colli Tortonesi, Penna Currado, "Derthona", 2023From vines nearly lost among the sea of peach and apricot trees and forests of chestnuts ridden with white truffles, Timorasso has risen to become one of Italy's most noble varieties in the 21st century. After leading the celebrated Vietti winery for over 35 years, Luca and Elena launched this more intimate venture in 2023, centered around a beautifully restored 16th-century cascina in Serralunga d'Alba and select vineyard parcels across the Langhe and Derthona. With a focus on cooler, biodiversity-rich sites, they aim to craft a fresh, age-worthy expression of their beloved region. Luca oversees winemaking with his renowned enological expertise, while Elena's talent for hospitality and commerce shapes the wines' journey beyond the cellar. Their beautifully distinctive labels, illustrated by artist Giuseppe Stampone, capture the spirit of a new beginning and the enduring allure of Piedmont. Bin 0450127
