concept

I didn’t start from the land, but I’ve always loved it. I chose it because at some point in my life I felt a deep need to re-establish a slow connection with nature. I decided to dedicate myself to wine and, more broadly, to a deep inner exploration.

Wine is waiting.
It’s the ability to listen to and respect the rhythms of nature.

Wine is intuition.
The refinement of winemaking techniques follows a gradual process of learning, mainly based on intuition, which takes place first in the vineyard and then in the cellar. 

Wine is a union of minds and hearts.
It’s the perception that the whole is not merely the sum of its parts.

Terroir

Francesco-Iandolo-Terreno-map-piedmont-Colli-Tortonesi-cell2
The unspoiled territory of Colli Tortonesi is located at the southeastern extremity of Piedmont, between Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, and Liguria. The influence of the nearby Mediterranean Sea, the winds from the Appennino Piacentino, and the clay-limestone nature of the soil make this corner of Piedmont a unique terroir for vine cultivation.

Our vineyard is located in the municipality of Brignano Frascata, in Cà dell’Aglio region. The total area covers just 6 hectares, and the only grape variety is Timorasso, an ancient local gem.
