The estate was established in 1948 by Mr Mario Antoniolo, a very motivated entrepreneur, who was later supported by his daughter Rosanna. The main aim of the Antoniolo Family has always been to achieve a very high quality standard of Gattinara wines. At present, Rosanna is supported by her daughter Lorella and her son Alberto. The vineyards are located in the best positions on the hills of Gattinara and the wines are made exclusively from the vines grown on the property.
"This estate has come along in leaps and bounds since Alberto Antoniolo took the cellar in hand: continuously good sales, wide acclaim from wine enthusiasts in Italy and overseas, and a series of awards from the wine press. Antoniolo has also made some major investments in the vineyards and in particular in the cellar, where work to renovate and expand the available space is now almost complete" -Gambero Rosso Italian Wines 2007
