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 company‚s 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 company‚s "I PATRIARCHI"range is dedicated to all those who have contributed to the company‚s rich and successful history.

The "I PATRIARCHI" range contains four wines: Barbaresco, Barbera d‚Alba 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.
