ABOUT THE PRODUCER:  The Chionetti family has been intertwined with vines since the 19th century. The pivotal moment occurred in 1912 when Giuseppe Chionetti acquired a farmhouse in San Luigi, an area in Dogliani particularly suited to vineyards. From that point forward, the Chionetti family became synonymous with Dolcetto. Dogliani stands indeed as one of the most historically significant and high-quality Dolcetto regions. By the middle of the 20th century, the Chionettis were one of the three families in Dogliani who bottled their Dolcetto. Quinto and his son Andrea were the first to include the names of the vineyards on the labels. Much later, in 2015, Nicola, Andrea’s son, took up the mantle in producing wine from the same Dolcetto vineyards and revived his father’s old project: the production of Barolo.
