The Cellar: Francesco Rosso, graduated from the Agricultural Technical Institute of Alba with specialization in oenology and viticulture, follows in the footsteps of his predecessors who dedicated their working lives to agriculture in the Roero area. Although Domenico Rosso, Francesco's father, had favored the fruit and vegetable sector over the years of his activity, Francesco's will was to elect viticulture as his main activity. A choice of continuity with the ideals of grandfather Francesco, whose notebook full of notes is still present in the company. An heirloom to which the family is very attached, on whose pages the seasonal trends and prices of the products are carefully noted, suggesting the attention that was already placed in the production of a good Nebbiolo in the middle of the last century. The love for wine is a return to the past: with the restoration of old abandoned vineyards and the planting of new ones, the winemaking activity has opened up to the market with a diversified wine production. The company is also dedicated to the cultivation and sale of fruit and vegetables: strawberries, peppers and the round and gentle hazelnut from the Langhe. The intent is to offer healthy and genuine foods and to rediscover products grown in a natural and healthy way following in the footsteps left by predecessors.
