However, it is in the hilly region of Bure Alto in the township of S.Pietro, in the 8 he. vineyards belonging to the Ferrari family, that the farm obtains its best grapes. The Ferrari family has run its farm since 1789.

The range is increasingly focused on catering for a market that demands products of a very high standard.
