Novello | Piedmont

In 2004 Gianmatteo (Jimmy) Raineri and Fabrizio Giraudo met at the Turin University of Wine.

In 2014, finally, the long-awaited purchase of its own facility in Panerole di Novello, where Raineri dedicates a single space to winemaking and another to aging in wood.

"Our philosophy is the same as that of the great Masters who made the history of the Langhe: total respect for the vineyard and for the wine, associated with the utmost care for aging in the cellar. To do this, we constantly "live" the vineyard, pay close attention to the French oak we use, and taste our wines day after day ... "
