Silvano's 10 hectare estate is located mostly in the esteemed Sori Piadvenza 400 meters above sea level.  Here the limestone soil and southern exposure produce grapes of the highest quality.

When visiting Silvano, you're most likely to find him with with his father, Secondo. Father and son work together producing Piedmont's "other" wines of distinction -- Dolcetto, Barbera, Nebbiolo d'Alba, Arneis and Chardonnay. They combine the best of traditional techniques with modern know how, using a combination of stainless steel and oak barrels to make wines that are complex, delicious and easy to drink.
