Description

We are now the fourth generation of Stroppiana winemakers; the family estate was founded halfway through the twentieth century. During the 1950s and 60s, our great-grandparents, followed by our grandparents, began purchasing the estate’s first agricultural parcels in La Morra and Bussia in Monforte d’Alba. At the beginning, like most local farmers, our grape harvest was mainly sold to other winemakers. A small portion was made into wine for family use.
