DOGLIANI (CN)

We are in Dogliani, or rather in San Luigi, in the center of the Dolcetto di Dogliani cultivation area; here Nicholas Altare cultivates his family’s vineyards, some of which are very old.

Nicholas “inherited” a company handed down from generation to generation, he has always had a strong passion for this world, but it was after meeting a master like Principiano Ferdinando, that he began producing artisanal wine from bottle.

It’s 2015 and Nicholas just couldn’t stand seeing his grapes sold in bulk, and it was in that year that the journey began.
