Historical background

Roero is actually “vine”, it is women and men’s culture dedicated to high quality

vineyards growing, but there is a further history about Roero made by other products,

passions and economic resources: the fruits. Starting from the past the Brjnda never

renounced fruit growing such as peaches, plums, apricots and cherries.

There is an old cherry tree on the family vineyard; it rises up as a keeper of the old

tradition that never passes away.
