WHY

Some of these vineyards were planted back in the 1930s, narrowly surviving WWII and everything after. In the middle ages, the wines of Monte Viso and Monte Bracco were documented for their quality by our old pal, Leonardo da Vinci as far back as 1511. There is even documentation from 1203 that testifies to the merit and notability of the region's wine.
