The red soils of the Gavi DOCG area originate from the stretching of gravels mixed with clay from ancient alluvial deposits. They are located north of Gavi, towards Tassarolo and Novi Ligure. Here, where the hills are gentler, the vineyards alternate with oak and chestnut forests.

Our vineyards in Tassarolo range in age from 18 to 55 years and are located on particularly vocated slopes, at an altitude of about 300 meters above sea level. This terroir gives the wines structure and minerality.

Tassarolo is also home to our oldest and most scenic vineyard, as it is overlooked by the monumental Green Oak (Rovere Verde) of Tassarolo, a rare specimen of Turkey Oak, listed in the National Register of Monumental Trees. This evergreen tree, which is more than 400 years old, is protected by a forest. Our Rovere Verde watches over our vineyards, from the top of a hill. The view from there stretches to the far-away Alps.
