When the Gozzelino family first started cultivating these vineyards back in 1886 the land still belonged to the marchesi Asinari - great wine growers who lived in the castle of Costigliole. The Gozzelino family acquired the vineyards in 1914 and since then have continued to expand the wine company; they now cultivate 25 hectares of vineyards, with regard to traditional wisdom. Along to the traditional and affectionate clientele that comes every year to buy the wine of the house, today they serve also other consumers, with selected bottles. "Quality is a necessary choice for us - explains Sergio Gozzelino - because this is the wine of our home". Quality springs up first in the vineyards, related to the type of soil and to the climate, to the passion and to the sense of measure of the wine maker. The company's vineyards are situated on the high slopes of Bricco Lu, which enjoys the best position in the province of Asti - this extraordinary hill basks in sunshine even when the surrounding area is covered with fog. Lorenzo, the company oenologist, represents the fifth generation of his family to cultivate these lands. This company has obtained various acknowledgments to national and international level and is present in several wine guides.
