In the late 1970s the Damonte Giuseppe winery became Malvirà, that in Piedmontese dialect means badly turned. The old house where our father Giuseppe moved the winery is known in our small town by this term, because its courtyard faces North instead of South as traditionally.
Malvirà in the 1970s could count only on a small vineyard surface of 2.5 ha, now the vineyards exceed 40 ha. Growth has been slow but steady over time, now 7 family members work in the winery, each with his or her own specific task.
The grape varieties grown are the typical of the area, Arneis, Barbera, Nebbiolo, Bonarda Piemontese and Brachetto Lungo. We also have a small amount of Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay.
White grape varieties are about 50% of the total, the vineyards are mainly in the Roero area except for about 1.5 ha in La Morra, in the Barolo area.
Since 2014 all our vineyards have been cultivated organically and winemaking also follows that rule.
In 2003 we opened a small tourist facility, Villa Tiboldi, located in our largest vineyard, S.S. Trinità, to let gourmets visiting Langhe Monferrato and Roero experience the true spirit of our territory.
