Via Nuova was the name of a small vineyard located near the town of Barolo. Its name derived from the proximity to the road (new, in the last century) that connected Barolo to Novello. Of that road today only a path remains in the middle of the vineyards, passable on foot.
Located in the municipality of Barolo and the cellar overlooks the square where via Monforte and via Vittorio Veneto (the so-called Via Nuova) intersect. From here, observing the hills, you can imagine how much work is needed to maintain such steep land like well-kept gardens and obtain from their generosity these grapes of unparalleled quality. Only grapes from vineyards cultivated by them and which are, almost entirely, own property vinified.
