“My grandfather was called like me, Giovanni. He takes credit for our family\u2019s most important accomplishment: surviving”<\/em><\/p>\n

GIOVANNI MANZONE<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>

Imagining the hills of Monforte d\u2019Alba at the beginning of the 20th<\/sup> century with its present image in mind is not an easy task. We must imagine extensive vineyards split in half, the densest and most luxuriant woods and fields of wheat and maize almost everywhere, stretches of gold that, in summer, would welcome men and women, the faces of hard work, coming from populous villages scattered among remote hills, connected by dusty roads.<\/p>\n

In this situation of marginality and misery, of industriousness and desire for redemption that Stefano Manzone<\/strong> started the creation of the present-day winery. A man from 1860, father of three, Stefano handed down his lands, the result of enormous sacrifices and hard work.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
