ABOUT THE WINERY
• In 1900, French winemaker Pierre Tintero wandered down to Piedmont, and worked as hired hand for widow Rosina Cortesa before falling in love. The rest is history. Marco is 4th generation and current proprietor, along with his daughter in law Cinzia.
• Sustainably Farmed known as Lutte Raisonee (the reasoned fight!)
• Goal is to offer low intervention, delicious authentic wines to the world at a reasonable cost. They always drink higher than their price point
