This idea came up to them after a trip in Borgogna and thanks to this intuition they made the Barolo and Barbaresco two of the most appreciated and famous wines in the world. it was a real revolution at the time, in a territory where the concept of the cru was totally unknown, but theirs was, first of all, a genial and brave intuition.
