Giacomo Boveri trained as a telecommunications expert, and in 1988 decided to dedicate himself to managing the family farm rather than taking a safe job in the public sector or large organisation.
His aim was to increasing the size if the farm and improve the quality of the winemaking, ensuring it was reflective of the region, which lead to his investment in the local grapes Timorasso and Croatina.
He is the 5th generation of winemakers in his family.
In 2010, Sara Bonadeo left her profession as a lawyer to join her husband Giacomo in the winery, and leads the commercial operations.
Giacomo also produces a Piccolo Derthona from his youngest vines (promoting this to Derthona when they are 10 years old). These vines yield 20% more, but are crushed more lightly than the Derthona, resulting in 25% less juice.
What makes Giacomo’s range interesting is that you have the chance to taste 3 very different terroir with different soil types and exposition, all situated at 300m altitude.
There is also accommodation available at the winery: a 3 bedroom property for up to 5 guests. www.casagiorgina.it
