In 1930, Giuseppe Manfredi purchased vineyards and a farmhouse in Langhe and began to make wine. His family followed in his footsteps, and today the winery is owned and run by Aldo Manfredi and his daughters who have brought the estate up to date with modern technology and production techniques. Set in the beautiful rolling hills of the Langhe valley, the Manfredi family produces and sources high-quality Barbera d'Alba, Barolo and Gavi di Gavi. The family also has 20 hectares of prime Dolectto vineyards at its Bricco Rosso estate in Dogliani.
