parents Dario and Stefania and the two siblings Leonardo and Altea. Everyone is involved
in the project taking care of the different elements of the management, from the
vineyards' training all the way down to the sales. Both Dario and Stefania's families have
a deep viticultural background in the Barolo area in Piemonte.
The estate dimension's allow a classic family
managed business and this means that

every production phase.
Dating back to the first half of the XX
century and with Oreste (Dario's father) at
the time as winery founder, the property
vineyards occupy an area of 10 hectares
sitting at 400 mt. above sea level, in the
Barolo district and more specifically the
estate is located in Rivalta La Morra and the
vineyards in the municipalities of Verduno
and Monforte.
Stefania was born in Monforte and this gave
the family the opportunity to produce in the
famed Bussia cru. Currently the yearly
production amounts to 45.000 bottles.
INDIGENOUS VARIETIES: Italy offers a huge
amount of indigenous varieties and Piemonte

Useless to say that La Morra area is nearby Alba and this red wine quarter is favorable
for the cultivation of Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo giving the way to the Stroppiana's
wine range, each displaying the peculiar characteristics of the local terroir. The only
white grape cultivated is the local hero Nascetta which is undergoing a true and
authentic revival in the Langhe area.
The estate produces the following wines: Dolcetto d'Alba, Barbera d'Alba (unoaked),
Barbera d'Alba Superiore Altea, Langhe Rosso (the cantina's only blend of Nebbiolo and
Barbera), Langhe Nebbiolo and the Barolos range (starting from Leonardo all the way up
to San Giacomo, Bussia and the top notch Bussia Riserva).
The Dolcetto's vineyards are planted in Bussia, while fruit for the Barberas and the
Langhe Nebbiolo is sourced from both Rivalta and in Bussia. The Nebbiolo grapes for the
Barolo Leonardo comes from Verduno and Bricco Cogni in Rivalta, the San Giacomo from
the homonymous area and the Bussia ... to Bussia of course!
With the 2015 harvest, the Stroppiana debuted with the first ever white wine produced,

has been rediscovered and revaluated.
