- About us
- Company details
We are a small boutique family business winery located in the heart of the Langhe region, in the small village of Diano d’Alba, one of the eleven municipalities that make up the Barolo production area.
For me, wine is not a family affair, but a great passion born over time and that I have caressed and cradled for many years before turning it into a full-time job in 2009.
We only grow our own vineyards: about 6,5 hectares that, as in an embrace, surround the ninteenth-century farmhouse and the recently built eco-frindly winery, are cultivated with Arneis, Dolcetto, Barbera, Merlot and Nebbiolo; about 1 hectar of Nebbiolo for Barolo, from the cru Silio, is in the municipality of La Morra. Our total production is around 40.000 bottles.
The Rizieri estate is located on the hillside, at an altitude of 350 m. s.l.m., in the Sorì del Ricchino, a place historically suited to the production of the best Dolcetto in the area. The vineyards that surround it, lying on a hilly calcareous – clave soil, enjoy excellent exposure (at noon) and the surrounding wood acts as a natural lung during the hottest summer months, helping to cool and mitigate the air.
The company’s beating hearts are the ninteenth-century farmhouse, with the characteristic L-shapetypical of historical buildings in Langa, and the modern, basament cellar, designed to integrate perfectly with the surrounding area.
The photovoltaic system, installed on the roof of the cellar, produces clean electricity with the aim of reducing the environmental impact as much as possible and maximizing energy savings.
We believe in sustainable agriculture and strictly promote the rules of integrated agriculture in the vineyards. We have abolished the use of herbicides and we sow barley and legumes to guarantee nutrient-rich soil for the vines.
We are certificated as sustainable agriculture with the acronym S.Q.N.P.I. (national quality system of sustainable production).
Since July 2023, we are recognized as “Independent Winemakers” by F.I.V.I. (Italian Federation of Independent Winegrowers), a small association that protects the role of the winemaker who cultivates his vineyards, vinifies his grapes and takes care of the sale of the product.
