## About

Giovanni Daglio runs this family estate in Costa Vescovato, in the Colli Tortonesi hills of the Alessandria province. He comes from generations of farming stock and trained in pharmacy in Genoa, but the pull of the land brought him home to build up the winemaking side of the family's work. Since the 1980s the estate has kept making its historic wines under their original names, adding Timorasso along the way to round out the area's typical grapes, and has since renewed its vineyards and built a proper cellar and tasting room.

The range centres on Colli Tortonesi reds from Barbera, Croatina and an old, small-berried Dolcetto biotype called Nibiö, alongside a Timorasso bottled as Cantico that rests over a year on its lees before release, unfiltered and unsulphured. Costa Vescovato lies in the Tortona hills of eastern Piedmont, long the home ground of Timorasso, Barbera and Croatina.
