For four generations, the Valdinera family has been producing wine using only grapes from their own vineyards, located in the heart of Roero — a region separated from the Langhe by the Tanaro River. Spread over 20 hectares of sun-kissed hillsides, each plot is perfectly suited to its grape variety.
It all began in 1988, when great-grandfather Giuseppe planted the family’s first vineyard. Grandfather Carlo later expanded the estate, and today it’s father Beppe who personally oversees the vineyards. Thanks to his expertise, the grapes arrive in the cellar in near-perfect condition, ready to become outstanding wines.
