The vineyards of Nebbiolo for Barolo owned by the business are located in the territory of 2 classic towns: Castiglione Falletto (Cascina La Brunella) and Barolo (Borgata Cerequio).

A Piedmontese family of entrepreneurs since 1831. Firstly in the textile industry, then in publishing and now also in wine-growing. In the 90’s, Silvano and Elena Boroli felt the need to start a new project that could bring them back to nature, far from the crazy rhythms of today. The choice was almost obligatory for a Piedmontese: Langa wines. A passion that has converted into a job. What could be better?
A very difficult and demanding job, whose results are never achieved by chance, but, precisely for this reason, with great satisfaction. In 2000, Achille, the third of four children, joined the company.

All processes of Barolo production and refinement take place in the wine-making and ageing wineries at Cascina La Brunella, in the town of Castiglione Falletto, the heart of Barolo, in a very scenic hilly position at a height of 318 metres above sea level. The area hosts the most famous historic Barolo crus and the almost 8 hectares of land surrounding the farmhouse are Nebbiolo and Chardonnay vineyards.
As an integration of the historic Cascina La Brunella, a new winery was opened in 2006, with very peculiar characteristics that perfectly combine tradition and modern building technologies, in full respect of nature and the landscape.

The new winery, designed by Guido Boroli (architect, the second of the 4 brothers), of over 1,000 m2, consists of three distinct areas: the basement, the ground floor and the tasting room.
The basement is used for wine ageing and refinement, while the ground floor is used for product processing. The tasting room features large windows that allow guests to enjoy a unique landscape in the heart of the Barolo valley, among the small villages of La Morra, Barolo, Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga.

The property is also connected to a starred restaurant with rooms:

The company was born from the strong passion of Mauro Sebaste, son of Sylla, a famous woman and a true Langa wine expert. After Sylla’s premature death, Mauro leaves the family business and, propelled by his strong passion for wine, he pursues a single objective: producing quality wines.

With the help of his wife, Maria Teresa, and his in-laws, he sets up a new company and creates a wine-producing business. And today the next generation has joined the family business: Sylla working in accounting and Angelica painting the labels. To carry out his plan, he starts with a slow, meticulous search for vineyards: each of them with suitable features of typicality, geographical location and exposure.

Nowadays, Mauro manages thirty hectares of vineyards in property and in renting. He follows ripening cycles with absolute devotion and care in order to achieve his one and only objective: producing total and uncompromising quality. His family firm produces an average of 120,000 bottles of wine per year and 5,000 bottles of grappa, exported all over the world.

Experiences

Casa Baricalino, wine and hospitality, was born in 2014 in the Municipality of Novello with the aim to continue the tradition of the Langhe territory. The three hectares of vineyards which surround our winery are cultivated with love and respecting the environment.

Our winery and hospitality let you enjoy the emotion of winemaking and bottling, while tasting a glass of good wine and chatting in front of a relaxing landscape.

The cellar is a small family-run business, born thanks to Francesco Marengo (Mauro’s father, the current owner and successor) who decided to plant his first vineyards in Novello area around the 1950s.

Born mainly as an agricultural activity, over time it becomes a winery, and in 2015 (with the arrival of the third generation in the cellar) it started to sell bottled wines in the international market.

The family only cultivate his own land: they own 11 hectares of native vines of Dolcetto, Barbera, Nebbiolo and Nas-cëtta, located on the hills of Novello and Barolo.

Growers for generations, the Marengo family dedicate the utmost attention to the care of the vineyard, respecting all the times that nature requires.

The company produces Nas-cëtta del comune di Novello DOC, Dolcetto d’Alba DOC, Barbera d’Alba DOC, Barbera d’Alba Superiore DOC, Langhe Nebbiolo DOC, Barolo DOCG, Barolo Angela DOCG, and a red wine called “Falun”.

The Schiavenza company acts in the territory of Serralunga d’Alba since 1956.

The firm started by the brothers Vittorio and Ugo Alessandria is now managed by the son-in-law Luciano Pira, agronomist and cellar man, aided by the wife Maura Alessandria and the brother-in-law Walter Anselma. In the past the farm and the surrounding lands were owned by the Opera Pia Barolo; the work was made by sharecroppers called “schiavenza”: from which derives the curious company’s name.

Actually the company extend itself on ten hectares of vineyards in the territory of Serralunga d’Alba; it owns moreover 15.240 m2 in the village of Monforte d’Alba in the Perno hamlet.

From these esteemed lands the company produces red wine of excellent quality following an artisan making.
