Additional Information

"History of a unique Nebbiolo and an autochthonous vine variety saved! When my father arrived in the Garbianotto farmhouse in 1978 there was already this Langhe Nebbiolo vineyard, which was already more than forty years old at the time. In addition to the Nebbiolo rows, the farmer who planted it had foreseen 2 rows of an unknown grape variety which was called Gamay, but of whose origin we were not sure.

Twenty years later the Province asked to my father to remove that vineyard because it was ""non-traditional"". But the vineyard was already 60 years old and my father refused! After another 30 years I accidentally met the old owner and he told me an incredible story.

According to his grandfather, that unknown grape variety, the likely Gamay, was the typical grape variety in our area before phylloxera! We had saved an ancient native grape variety! The incredible thing is that no researcher knew the history of this grape variety. In 2019 we started plants selection and in 2020-21 we will start a new plant and genetic research."
