The Abrigo family have been tending vineyards for generations, with their skills being handed down from father to son. In 1988 Giovanni Abrigo began working alongside his father, Orlando, in the family business. Giovanni set out first-of-all to implement technical improvements in the winery, with the aim of producing wines of character.
Subsequently the estate was extended with the acquisition of land and vineyards. Today, the Orlando Abrigo winery farms around 20 hectares of vineyards growing both traditional wines, such as Barbaresco, Dolcetto d’Alba, Barbera d’Alba and wines of the new generation. Together with Virna, he is also involved in the running of the VIRNA estate located in the village of Barolo, which is specialized in the production of the celebrated wine of the same name
The variety in the soil, formed by layers of more or less compact, brown- grey sand alternated with bluish-white calcareous marl, is what makes the wines grown on this land so unique. The quality of the wines therefore depends on nature – the sun, climate and soil – but also on the way in which the vines are grown and tended. This is why in making its wines the Abrigo winery only uses grapes selected from its own estate.
