 Vineyard training: Guyot on calcareous marl soils typical of the Piedmont hills. The vineyards are cultivated using sustainable agronomic practices and controlled grassing between the rows to preserve soil fertility and limit erosion. Vineyard management emphasizes low yields and careful grape selection to ensure quality and aromatic concentration.

 The Winery: The Bava family's history begins in Cocconato, a village nestled in the hills of the Monferrato area of Asti. The Bava family has been cultivating vines in this area since the 1600s. Today, the property extends between the Monferrato and Langhe regions, with vineyards managed according to principles of environmental sustainability. The vineyards use natural fertilizers derived from grass clippings and pruning, wooden poles sourced from renewable forests, and grass cover between the rows to prevent soil erosion. The winery was founded in 1911, and since 1975, the Bava family has been among the pioneers of the use of barrique in Piedmont, contributing to the development of elegant, modern wines while respecting tradition.
