The Adrianos have 27 hectares of vines, as well as some of the very best hazel trees in Piemonte, which produce unbelievably delicious hazelnuts! Grazia and her daughter Michela look after sales and marketing whilst Luciana runs the office, and Marco tends the vines. Their vineyards are mainly parcelled around San Rocco, but they have 7 ha in the commune of Neive, a single, vertiginously steep, plot in the cru Basarin, which Grazia brought into the family when she married Vittorio. SE facing, at 300 masl and a 45% incline. The average age of the vines here is about 15 years, and the soil is grey volcanic marl. Barbaresco Basarin is aged for 12 months in stainless steel and then another year in 35 and 50 hl vats.
For the Grappa the pomace, is sent to the distillery on the same day it is produced, just a few hours after harvest, for distillation, to maximize the aromas and flavors.
