The
Francone family boasts five generations of wine making experience. The
tradition began with Adriano in 1867.
He
was succeeded by Alberto and Giovanni Battista who expanded the companys
market beyond Piedmont into the rest of Europe. Giovanni Founded the
current company in Neive in 1964.
Today
the family tradition is continued by Mauro Francone and his two sons,
Marco and Fabrizio. They continue to participate in all stages of wine
production.
The
companys "I PATRIARCHI"range is dedicated to all those
who have contributed to the companys rich and successful history.
The
"I PATRIARCHI" range contains four wines: Barbaresco, Barbera
dAlba Superior, Nebbiolo and Chardonnay.
The
wines are made from carefully selected grapes which are then stored
in oak barrels.
Only
the most successful seasons are bottled.
The
Land
The
Langhe region is full of hidden charms. Situated in the south of Piedmont,
it is a place where the heart may be warmed as the appetite is satisfied.
The awe-inspiring landscape stretches from the vineyards to the Alps.
A rich tradition of quality food making can be sensed all around.
Visit the land of great wines and delicious truffles, where the culture
of the small villages mingles with the history of the brave castles
of old.
Whilst enjoying the tranquil atmosphere of the Langhe, why not find
