La Vedetta
La Vedetta rises in one of the most exceptional areas of the Barbaresco denomination in terms of location, microclimate and morphology of the vineyards. Here, the view sweeps over the most spectacular hills of the area that, seamlessly, compete to fill the space of the sky: the Martinenga amphitheater; the winding curves of the vine rows of Asili, the steep slope of the Rabajà.
La Vedetta is the story of a comeback. Marco, humanistic studies, a degree in Economics and an internship abroad, where he has worked for some multinational corporations. In Germany, he met Swantje, his partner, and with her he started planning his return. He wanted to rediscover the places of his childhood through a
project that would have made them most happy: reclaim the family vineyards and put them to good use. With the help of his uncle Michele, who knows the land by heart, and the oenologist Piero Ballario, they create a wine that speaks of roots, of love for the Langhe, of the simple complexity of this place.
