Micro-Production of Wines
HISTORY
A wine that takes the name of the one who cultivated it, of the one who believed in their dreams.
We are in Agliè in the 1960s, when at the age of 29 Antonio Maffeo, nicknamed 'Tunin Fejot', with a future as a building contractor already well established, and which he would pursue throughout his life, still had another dream: to cultivate vineyards.
Born into a farming family, at a time when the land was used to feed the family's needs and nothing more, at a time when most people were leaving country life for more profitable work in the Olivetti factories, he decided to go against the trend and invest in the land and in particular in vineyards.
As for the grape varieties to cultivate, Antonio decided to keep the Barbera grape, typical of the area, but also to promote another variety, at the time even frowned upon by many, the Erbaluce grape.
Erbaluce is one of the oldest Piedmontese wines, already known in Roman times under the name 'Alba Lux' and later mentioned, in the 17th century, by various scholars who described it as "white, shining like the dawn." This is evidenced by the 1606 work of Giovan Battista Croce in the book “Della eccellenza e diversità de i vini che nella Montagna di Torino si fanno, e del modo di farli”.
The territory of Agliè allows the production of both Erbaluce D.O.C.G. grapes (left map) and Canavese D.O.C. grapes such as Barbera and Nebbiolo among others (right map)
