CASCINA GHERCINA, BAROLO RISERVA DOCG

Domain
In 1871, the year Rome became the capital of Italy, the Sartirano family began its history in wine production. True to Piedmontese principles and values, where work and honesty are the basis of a good life, they produce local wines such as Dolcetto, Barbera, Nebbiolo and Barolo. Today, the fourth generation of Sartirano continues the activity of the family cellar, with ever new and ambitious projects, but maintaining the focus on tradition and quality. Cascina Ghercina is a brand used by the Sartirano family in honor of the lake located in the center of the Novello estate and which contributes to an exceptional microclimate for wine growing.
