A brief history
Our story begins with Maria, born in 1940, who chose vineyard rows over school desks. At just 13, she was already driving the family's first tractor. At 19, she married Pierino Macario, and together they began cultivating a few vineyards in Castelboglione. Their wine was initially sold in bulk, but with hard work, the estate slowly expanded to include Barbera, Dolcetto, and Brachetto.
In 1968, their daughter Giovanna was born. A few years later, the winery moved to its current location in Nizza Monferrato to start direct wine sales and bottling. With growing customer loyalty, the family expanded vineyards and introduced new varieties, including Grignolino, Cortese, Moscato, and later, Chardonnay.
Giovanna joined the business full-time after her studies, bringing innovation to both vineyard and cellar alongside her husband Dario, an agronomist and winemaker.
Today, the winery is proudly led by Giovanna, with support from Dario and their daughter Giulia, an enologist—marking three generations of strong women at the heart of the estate.
