Terre del Barolo 2016

The "Terre del Barolo" winery was set up on 8 December 1958 by 22 growers from various villages in the neighbourhood of Alba. The number of partners soon grew to 40, and by the first harvest in 1959 there were already around 362 members. These were difficult years for the market, but right from the outset sound, diligent management has allowed the company to pursue a philosophy based on quality, commercial reliability and genuine local products.It has certainly contributed also to the reputation of these products, and consequently to the economy of the whole wine-growing area around Alba, absorbing a considerable proportion of the total production of grapes. In 1978, anticipating the self-control regulations in force today, "Terre del Barolo" introduced a technical assistance programme for its grower members, encouraging them to protect their vineyards by the joint purchasing of traditional products, organic compounds and natural fertilizers to be used when and as much as it is strictly necessary. Located in Castiglione Falletto in the heart of the Langhe, the winery today brings together 300 growers who together own around 600 hectares of the Great Vineyards of the Langhe
