The Abrigo family have been tending vineyards for generations, with their

 skills being handed down from father to son. In 1988 Giovanni Abrigo

 began working alongside his father, Orlando, in the family business. Giovanni

 set out first-of-all to implement technical improvements in the winery,

 with the aim of producing wines of character. Subsequently the estate

 was extended with the acquisition of land and vineyards. Today Orlando

 Abrigo farms around 20 hectares of vineyards growing native varietals such

 as Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Barbera, Moscato and Nascetta, and a small number of

 international varieties, including Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Merlot.
