The Winery
The History. Before 1894, Nebbiolo grapes where sold to make Barolo wine or simply labeled 'Nebbiolo di Barbaresco'. But in 1894, Domizio Cavazza, headmaster of the Royal Enological School of Alba and a Barbaresco resident, created the first cooperative, the Cantine Sociali, by gathering together nine Barbaresco vineyard owners to make wine in the local castle that he owned. He understood well the differences between the same grape, the
Nebbiolo, grown in the different areas of Barolo and Barbaresco and, for the first time, recognised it on the wine label.
