The C.C. Guidobono winery is located in the heart of Roero and has a long-standing tradition in winemaking. Starting with 8 hectares of vineyards on the historic hills of Canale, they have expanded their estate to include the properties of Vezza d'Alba, Castellinaldo, and the recently acquired hill of Castagnito.

Today, the winemaking family's vineyards span over 20 hectares. They exclusively cultivate valuable wines such as Arneis, Nebbiolo d'Alba, Roero, Barbera d'Alba, Favorita, and Brachetto, all grown on slopes and hillsides.

The grapes are carefully pressed in the winery, which meets all modern functional requirements while still embracing traditional winemaking methods.

The wine ages for 24 months in oak barrels, where malolactic fermentation occurs. Afterward, it spends 12 months in stainless steel barrels before being bottled. The wine is stored in the cellar for 8 months before being released to the market.
